About Me

My names are Lilian wahu Njuguna,from Kikuyu Kenya...I have a diploma in Food production from Nairobi Aviation College.. am also a recording gospel artist with Fullhouse Music Kenya...
I've always had a passion for cooking, baking most especially, I love the results, and seeing someone enjoy a cake or bread I've made has always been rewarding for me...when they ask for the recipe, now that's a trophy for me!
My first baking lessons were from my mum when I was a little girl, she would mix her ingredients with just a cooking pot and spoon and I always enjoyed her cakes through her I learned some very priceless baking tips that I still use to date...so getting a chance to join College later on in life was a dream come true for me.
I Learnt all I could, collected a dozen recipes tried and tested all of them, kept the really good ones.. my friends and family constantly asked me why I didn't sell my cakes so after praying and working towards achieving my dream I started selling my cakes and the response was good.
After I cleared and graduated I didn't get a job as I expected so I decided to bake from home and later my friend helped me create a page called Delight Pastries 'n' cakes on Facebook ... Which is up and running and doing really well

My Business

(2021 loan application)
Hello everyone!

The last time I was here was way back when.
Happy to report that I finished the kitchen, bought mixers, ovens, and grew. Not so much but a lot changed. I've had busy times and I've had slow times especially because of Covid.

It has ruined a lot of growing businesses and honestly, that's why I'm here looking for help. I still bake from home, my online presence grew, I also started doing farmer's markets but that's slow for now and so I only do It whenever possible.

Hoping it gets to pick up from December

So here is my loan breakdown
I would like to buy stock for my business> 25000
Pay for Markets attendance and transport >14000

I would have done much more with a lot more money, but I'll pay up fast and hopefully be able to do much more.

Why should you help me out?
First, I need your help
Second, I always pay my loans no matter the hardship.
Third, I haven't borrowed here in a while, and am excited to have a chance to pay it forward. That's a really awesome way of growing each other.
Fourth, what's left for me right for me right now, is giving up, and I don't want to do that.

Loan Proposal

Hallo lenders, am back again for my 3rd loan request., I would like to thank God for helping me pay back the previous loan,and am greatful to all of you for your support, I want to use the money requested above to buy a fridge, my baking business has gone up a notch and it is doing well,but I have a problem when it comes to storing milk,cheese,creams,frosting as I do not have a fridge of my own, so I ask a hand from a friend to keep things in her house,it causes inconvinience for both of us. I will buy one at the cost of 20,000ksh(215.4$) and then the rest of the money which is 18000ksh(193.8$) I will use to start poultry farming,reasons 1, I will get a constant supply of eggs for my business from the chicken, 2. I will sell the eggs and meat one tray is 400(4.3$) and 1chicken is 700(7.54$).3. I will get organic manure for my organic gardening which will help improve my sells for the farm produce, am currently growing spinach,bell peppers,tomatoes,onions few strawberries and garlic. I will use 10000ksh(107.7$) for the structure and 8000ksh(86.2$) for buying chicks ,feeds and medicine. I would like to keep the local breed as it is more resistant to diseases and it fetches a higher price for both meat and eggs. I would like to ask for your help so that I can make this a reality. I assure you of my commitment to paying back the loan hopefully before the scheduled time/date. I will forever be gretful for your help lenders, and may God bless you all. Thank you.
