About Me

My name is Susan Maina. I am married and I have two children. I live in Nairobi, Kenya. I come from a difficult background, having been affected by tribal clashes in Kenya back in 1992 to a point of stopping schooling for 3 years while in class 5. By God's grace I was able to go back, and I worked very hard all through [my education] until I achieved a higher degree. My dream is to grow my business and use the income to empower young people and women in society.

My Business

I work as a real estate consultant, a business I started in 2015. Besides that, I mentor and help young people and women on business start-ups and financial management. I train them on record keeping, keeping track of their sales for those who are selling products, and brainstorming on possible small business ideas for those not already in business. I also train them on how to make shaggy mats and marketing tips. Some of these people also have little or no education, and I try to offer them informal training simple to their standard.

Loan Proposal

    Loan was originally scheduled to take five months to repay. Regular payments were made until a larger payment finished off the loan after three months. I wish you continued success.
