About Me
I am a young lady of 23 years of age and a Baptist by religion and by faith. I am the second born of four children. I am a Senior High School graduate a caterer by profession. I bake convenience foods(snacks) and also operate fast food sometimes.
I started this food business after completion of my Senior High School and as a result of the sudden demise of my mother, I have to become the mother in the house in food preparation.
Since my elder sibling is a half-sister to me who also stays with the mother. Thus my father's first born to another woman. What this means is that I am a first born to my departed mother and elder sister to two siblings.
I decided to make myself busy by learning a vocational work as a caterer since that was my field of study whiles in school (Home Economics). It was both pleasure and pressure learning a trade because I also have to see to my siblings domestic welfare though my dad plays his part as father but not to the satisfaction and demanding nature of we the children.
I successfully completed my vocational but funds to make it big and accessible to all was difficult so I bake with the little funds raised by my dad and make sales thrice in week though demand is higher. I wish to have my own place of working as a caterer so that I can also employ others. This is my story.

Loan Proposal
Thank God for guiding and directing my path through Zidisha loans. I have struggled in making things work out but the economy was an opoosing factor in my businesses.
I have now dive into sales of plastic materials that is tables, dustbins, bowls and others.
This loan is to aid me in buying the above materials from the warehouse directly than buying from the middle men which at the end generates very low income. If bought from the warehouse, the costs involved will be minimized and can therefore generates higher profits and income which will be enabled me to look after my siblings.
Thank you.
