About Me

I am a Kenyan Lady born in 1982. I went to Primary school in mirangine primary school in the year 1989 to 1996 and then latter joined mirangine secondary in 1997 to 2000. This far, is the hand of the Lord.
Life was slightly harsh to me for my father went to be with the Lord while I was still very young. So I was left in the hands of my mother who was just a small scale farmer. However she managed my school fee with the help of other well wishers.
After my high school, I started doing some casual jobs that enabled me to support my self and my other siblings. I managed to save a little of it and through it I started my business in a very small way.
I come from a very interesting community where local brews was known to be the only source of income but I came out differently and I thank God for this.
I like reading motivational books and parents magazines to groom me into a better mother in future.

My Business

I currently sell books to the good readers, school goings pupils and students which infact is doing very well so far. The books are in high demand because fast, there is a free education to every child therefore all are school going including dropouts.
Because I like reading, I knew definitely there are others also out there who like reading and may be not in a position to get the books and that's how I chose my business.
The cost of the books my vary from400/= to even 2000/= depending with the book and its availability giving me a profit of at least 600/= a day depending with the time of the year. I have been reinvesting this profit in the business for I want to have a big bookshop in future. And since I began this business, I have never slept hungry. Even my siblings have gotten their supports from this business. With your assistance, I'll be able to expand my business to a desired level to ensure that any type of book can be found at any given time at my bookshop.
God bless zidisha.

Loan Proposal

With the loan, I'll be able to add more stock of books, which varies from $3 to $17.
Now with a bigger stock, I'll be able to reach people in different categories and be able to get even more profit to enable me repay the loan in time
Am expecting the profit to grow from $5 to $15 a day.
So help me God.
