About Me

My name is Jane Wangui, born and raised in Nakuru town in the Rift Valley region of Kenya. I was born in a family of 5 and I am the third born. My parents are farmers who practised food farming. The food was mainly for feeding the family and they would sell the surplus to meet other family needs.

I went to school up to secondary school level and then joined a college where I took a course in beauty and hair care. I later relocated to Mombasa to live with my sister. This is where I started a business dealing with sale of second hand clothes. This is what I am still doing and this business supports my 2 children.

My Business

I deal with retailing second hand clothes in an open air market. I normally get the clothes from importers and then retail. I am surrounded by working people and these are my main clients. I make between $120 and $200 per month which I use to support my family.

I intend to open a stall in near future so that I can direct my clients to a permanent place as opposed to what I am doing right now. It is my hope that by benefitting from Zidisha loans, I will be able to achieve my dream soon.

Loan Proposal

My business is still growing and I need more capital to maintain the growth momentum. I will use this money to buy a bale of assorted second hand clothes of a higher quality. This will fetch more money because I will be able to attract customers who have a better income.

A bale will cost me around USD 200 and I hope to make a profit of about USD 70 from the sale of these clothes. This is the best time to invest in better quality clothes because most people tend to buy 'new' clothes towards the end of the year.

Kindly consider supporting this project.
