Additional shoes to sell

About Me

I am Farida Hadi but born Veronica Wangari. I was born in a christian family and later married a Muslim man where I converted to Islam. My husband later died and left me behind with four children. Two of these children are now grown ups and two are still in school.

I support my family by running a shoe shop which is just next to my house. I sell new and used shoes to the members of my community. I like my job because it gives me my daily bread and through it, I have been able to educate and feed my children.

My Business

As mentioned above, I sell shoes from my outlet as a retailer. I get my stock from bit stores in town and then retail them at a small profit. In a good day, I can sell ten pairs of shoes where my profit can be as high as USD 20. However, this fluctuates depending on the date and season and it can go as low as USD 2 in a day.

I hope to keep increasing my stock until I transform my shop into a big store where I will be able to serve more people. This is the main reason that I have joined Zidisha.

Loan Proposal

This is the best time to stock up because the end of year comes with a surge in shoes demand. I want to be ready for this demand so that I can make good sales during the festive and back to school season.

I will buy children and ladies shoes with this money since they tend to do very well during time. I will use the profit so realized to cater for my family needs while repaying this loan.

Thanks.
