About Me

My name is Marion Nyawira from Meru County. Meru is in the slopes of the snow-capped Mount Kenya and it is a very cold area. The community around here does farming, mainly coffee and other food crops. I was born and raised in a family of 6 and I am the second last born.

Like other children in the family, I was taken to primary and later secondary school for my education. I did not proceed with academics after that. I got married but my husband became very abusive after the birth of our first child until I decided to quit the marriage. With the harsh life staring at me, I rented a small house and made a simple structure which I use as a restaurant where I sell meals to the locals.

My Business

I run a simple restaurant where I sell food to the local community. My clients are mostly construction laborers who normally come to my establishment for a quick bite during their work breaks. A simple meal of maize and beans cost about half a dollar.

I make about $12 a day and $5 goes into expenses and I use the balance to support my child with his daily needs. My desire is to construct a better structure where I can prepare the food in a hygienic way and get better chairs and tables.

Loan Proposal

My plan is to increase the sitting capacity of my hotel. My business has grown with time (thanks to your support) and I now need more chairs and tables to accommodate more customers.

I was hoping to get a bigger loan after having successfully cleared the previous one. Somehow my credit limit dropped drastically and I have to adjust my budget accordingly. However, this money will be enough to buy half a dozen chairs and two tables. Thank you.
