About Me

i was born in 1977 as the fourth born of a family of six. i went to school up to form four. my schooling was difficult after my father passed away before i joined high school. my mother had to struggle to get me join form one since my elder brothers were also in high school already. after high school i could not proceed with education due to cash problems. i had to find a way of surviving and ended up starting a shoe business with very small capital. i have two children both boys.. the eldest is already pursuing a degree on electronics engineering and the other is still in primary school.
i love hanging out with my children and mostly swimming.

My Business

I am dealing with shoes for all. that is men, women and also children. i chose this business because shoes don't get spoilt like vegetables or food and are always in demand. my everage cost of a bale of shoes is about 5,000 KES and this will give about 8,000 KES. i use the profits in paying rent, school fees for my children, food and clothing.

Loan Proposal

i intend to purchase a bale of shoes which should cost aproximately $50. this will increase my stocks and hence more customers. in return i expect a profit of about $20.
this profit will enable me to meet my expenses and pay my bills.

    Winfred, how is it going? There hasn't been a payment in a while. Do you need to make another adjustment?

    Hi lenders, i changed may payment schedule, so that i may not be caught up paying late and am more comfortable paying that reviewed amount.
