About Me

Been raised by a foster parent and things were tough, thou i tried and did my o level in.2007 now had to stand on my own ,became a parent,amentor of my own, stated by odd jobs which gave me litle capital to start mitumba business ,, that was 1000. But now i have it running and ave managed. I would like to see my kids grow up be depended people and want to make sure they dont go through the kind of life i went through..
I love reading, and finding new ideas

My Business

I do mitumba business, once in a while i go to gikomba to get first camera clothes, i do both ladies and kids clothing,
The ladies are the most highly demanded atleast on a bad day i get 2000,and now ave got more clients requesting for kids clothing.
My business is flexible i can still do other things thay bring me more income and it has hepled me alot coz i dont depend on anyone for my living,am taking care of my kids comfortably

Loan Proposal

I want to add more stock in ladies clothes and buy a bale for kids wear too which cost156$ . I would like to open a new stall for only kids wear, by this my source of income would have increased. Am looking forward of managing this two stalls and see them grow, and also am going to help someone since i will have to employ someone i trust to help me run the stalls as i go out and market my business.am expecting my profits and sales to increase atleast to 2500kenyan shillings dailly.

Thanks zidisha.. You are a blessing to my life, by your loans i dont need anyone to employ me for i have a stable business that is supporting me and my two beautiful daughters, as single mother it wasnt easy but after knowing you i dont look for people to help me. Your loans are as so easy to access and i will say with no intrest at all. Thanks again.
