About Me

My name is mary, a mother of four, i am a single mother having lost my husband back in 2004, seeing my children grow has been one of the joyous journey of my life, been a single mother has taught how to be a father and a mother to my sons and thats where i learnt the art of business, i come from a giving community where everyone is happy to always help a friend.

My Business

I have a grocery where i specialize in selling vegetables and fruits, but the most notable source of my income is the fruits which i have been able to sell and raise enough capital to open a small hotel, i come from a region where the sun gets very hot in the afternoon and in my case i take this as a blessing and in the afternoon i make nutural juice mangoes and carrot and this had given me a large number of customers who seems to enjoy this. I use my profit to enlarge my business as i am able to pay school fees for my boys using the little amount of money that i get from two dairy cattles that i have kept.

Loan Proposal

I wish to buy a new blender and hopfully with the scorching sun i will be able to make more than 10litres of juice a day. This will make it easy for me to expand my business and get a way to sell the remaing stock of fruits

    I contacted Wanjiru and she told me that the global pandemic had really affected her business. She promised to look for other means to make repayment.
