Hello, am Susan Wanjiru njoki, am 29 years old, am a single mother of two girls. I grew up in Murang'a County, where I attended my primary education and part of my secondary education unfortunately when I was in form three I got pregnant and I had to drop out of school, I had hopes returning back to school but my parents were unwilling to support me. So I hard to stay home that's when I thought I should start something to help support my child.
I started selling second hand clothes for other people during market days and the would pay me a commission according to my sales.
After I had saved enough I moved to Nairobi to explore other options, I fell in love with some guy but it was never meant to be he left after he discovered I was pregnant and that's how I got my second child.
Right now my focus is on my babies and how to give them a brighter future than the one I have.
I deal in 2nd hand clothes, mostly women stuff, be it shoes, handbags, clothes. I have a small stall around my home where I display my stuff for clients to buy, then I also do only sales, for instance I have a Facebook page where I take photos and post, I get orders through my inbox then we agree in delivery terms.
My business sustains me and my kids although it has its ups and downs.
Averagely in a month, I can make profit ranging between KES 20000 to 25000 depends on how the market is, I spend my profit to school my kids, pay rent and take care of other basic needs. I also do a little savings for emergencies.
I would like to use this platform to help me grow and expand my business am sure thus will hp me achieve my goals.
I usually go to buy my stuff early morning in gikomba market, I need to get a nice bag that I'll be using to carry my clothes and other goods from the market to my stall. This will ensure my clothes don't spoil for instance during rainy season, a loan of $6 will help to purchase the bag. Kindly fund my loan and may God bless you.
