About Me

I am from a family of 4, born and raised in Nairobi. I have a Diploma in marketing and sales and also a certificate in secretarial studies. Due to the high unemployment rate in y country, I ventured into business almost three years ago to better my life and those of my siblings. While the business growth has been slow, it is steady and I am hoping for better times ahead. I deal with second hand clothes which I hawk from on City's estate to the other.

I am a very goal oriented kind of person,i always set goals and achieve them. I am also very hungry for knowledge.I believe that in learning...you get to grow in life and business as well as career wise. Giving back to society is also something i love doing. Mostly i participate in runs and walks for charity. I can play a guitar and I am a choir member at Ruaka PCEA church.

My Business

I deal in secondhand clothes business, and this how I earn on average every month.

Monthly Sales $300
Expenses $120
Miscellaneous $ 60

Profit $120
My business is still small but i can see a future because am not giving up any day soon. I hawk second hand clothes to people who i am recommended to by my clients and friend. I know with time i will buy a truck and i will be doing the same business of taking my products(clothes)to my customers at the comfort of there homes,offices, etc, depending on there preferences

Loan Proposal
