My name is Alice Murugi Macharia. I come from Maombi in Kabazi, Nakuru County where I reside. Kabazi is approximately 25 Km from Nakuru Town on your way to Nyahururu where you aright at Miki Stage and take a murram road towards Miki Primary School then ask for Mama Njoroge home. I am married and a mother of 3 children and am a business lady and a farmer
I have a pullover knitting machine whereby I knit school pullover and sell them to parents with pupils in nearby school and during market days I sell the same to people even from far areas who come to the market. One pullover have a expenditure of an average Kshs. 400 and I sell it at a cost of an average of Kshs. 550 thus making a profit of on average due to the size of the pullover Kshs 150. In one week am able to knit 20 pullovers thus making a profit of about 3000. This gives a total of 1200 per month. I also sometimes get orders from schools to supply pullovers.
Am planning to buy a kneating machine and create a job to an employee who will help me to meet the demand and ease my work especially this season whereby the local do well as it is a harvesting season and the money is in good circulation.With this i will be able to also buy weaving threads to add to the stock in my shop
