I live with my last three children in Musumarini. I started doing business because i wanted to meet my family needs.I first started with tailoring business, and later i introduced the boutique selling second hand clothes.This business really helped me with my family upkeep.With my income from the business i buy food for the family paying rent at the boutique, and paying school fees.
My business is a combined boutique and a tailoring shop, these combined businesses gives me a good help in my family upkeep. This business is doing well especially, the boutique which i do a door to door service, this business does better because i go to the customers right to their houses. with this door to door service target all age group as i meet them at their residential places this business is profitable as i get my family needs without any problem. With this business i get an income of ksh 30,000 per month. in this business my risks include, rainy season, this affects as i walk doing the door to door service so its hard to walk in such weather.With the income i get i use ksh 5,000 for my family food, ksh 4, 000 paying school fees, ksh 5 for my family expences and other family needs. i save ksh 16,000 per month, which i can use to repay my zidisha loan.
First i would like to take this chance to thank all of my lenders and the entire zidisha crew for making this dream come to reality. First i would like to use Kshs. 25,000 to buy materials(fabrics) of different coulors. Kshs 10,000 i will use to buy a new machine so as to boost production then use Kshs 10,000 to pay for school fees to my 2children who are in school. then use the rest to buy things like threads and needles for the production work to be effecient. thank you so much and may God bless you all.
