My names are slyvian Omondi. I am the second born daughter of the late john Omondi and the late Esther Omondi. I am a tailor by profession . I went to ligega primary school and later joined sega girls , for secodary education,however i did not get a chance tocomplete my education because my parents passed on while I was in third year.
I dropped out of school at form three and stayed home for a year. I later registered for vocational training with a NGO that paid for my fees in Butula polytechnique where i trained as a tailor. I specialized on designing and cloth production.
After completing my training, I looked for a job with no success, I final got a job in Busia town,but it was really to tough. it involved working for several hours a day a and the payment were so little. I worked hard and saved as much as I could. I worked for two and bought my own sewing machine. I started working outside a
friends shop (in the verandah) but the municipal council come for me only a few days after launching my business. They wanted business permit or payments, i didn't have either and so they went with my machine. I had to take $50 loan from Shylock to pay off the council. I work had and paid off the Shylock and my business went on well. I have now rented a shop and my business is doing fairly well.
I like playing piano,dancing and singing when free. I also do social work which includes visiting the sick,orphans and street boys .
my job involves ,designing and production of cloths . I design cloths according to customers taste and preference. I always strive at producing good quality job as a strategy for retaining my current clients .
Designed cloths are on demand as most people prefer to wear what the can watch being processed and would obviously meet there taste and preferences . these makes the demand for my goods to go even higher.
I choose these business because I had been trained on the same ,the business is good and gives me my daily bread.
I spend $150 and make an average $350 every month.
I use my profits to take care of my siblings ,pay fees and save for purpose of business expansion.
Dear ladies and gentlemen, I am once again here to humbled and happy with your good work. I was recently awarded a business opportunity by a school to produce uniforms for the children,these is a great business opportunity that is likely to change my fortunes.I have increased my labor by one more employee and bought one commercial sewing machine for faster and quicker production. I am requesting for these loan of $200 to help me buy fabric in bulk from Nairobi so as to embark on production. these will be of great benefit since I will enjoy economies of scale. Thank you in advance .
