About Me

Am college level educated and did accounts.I always loved numbers.My son is 23 years old and in University. I am married.

My Business

I am now doing crocheting full time, an art I learnt when COVID 19 hit and my airtime business went down and I closed my shop.
I found crochety so fulfilling and infact it releases stress. Crochety is diverse and one can make anything from throws, blankets, hats, scarfs, sweater etc.
Many people are turning to handmade items and there is no day that goes without me learning something new. I get free my patterns and tutorials from the internet (YouTube).

Loan Proposal

I will be able to buy much more airtime at once that can last me a week than before when I used to buy on daily basis.This will increase my customer base and it also safe on time.I do not have to close like before when I used to run short of airtime.I will also be having enough money to send in time and have it delivered to me without running short of the product.Airtime is for all.The system I use Mobikash to distribute airtime is for all networks in Kenya.Safaricom,Airtel and Orange.It will be a one-time shop for all.Thus increasing my sales and customer satisfaction.

    1. I will purchase yarn in bulk at whole sale price
    2. It will help me to cater for orders and easy projects easily without having to buy one piece at a time. It saves time too since I have to travel about 200km to the main town only once.
    Thank you for your continued support in funding my projects.

    The past projects have been successfully despite my two weeks off duty because of the minor eye operation I had. I can confidently say my customers have not left because I have been managing to do their projects in time because I always have enough to buy yarn in stock and rhw reason I need more. With more yarn I make simple projects like hats and scarfs and the have boosted my sales greatly. Thank you.

    I have been out of work due to a minor eye surgery. It has been difficult to work or perform my normal duties.

    Due to rhe cold season, it has been easy to make quick money because I was managing to make hats and scarfs on daily basis and the orders kepp coming. This cold season has greatly favoured my business and I now understand why I should have finished projects ready for sale

    Where I stay it very cold. The weather has changed completely. The good thing is this is the weather that needs more and more scarfs and hats.
    The scarfs and hats that had acquired dust are now sold and it has been really a busy time for me.

    This is my first full crochet dress. It has taken me two weeks to make.
    I have very interesting clients. They come with a pic of what they want and I cannot resist to say 'Oh YES'!
    I can do it just as you want it.
    Done and my client is happy.
