About Me

Hi my zidisha lenders, my name is Jacklyne Teyie. A Kenyan lady aged 39yrs. Am married with 4children :3girls n 1boy all of them in school now.I finished my high Sch in 1998 managed to go to college n persued a diploma in early childhood. After few years the jobs was getting in the neighbouring schools wasn't well paying to manage my family. I decided to venture into business of selling African outfit materials (vitenge)as time went by I went a head n started making the outfits till today.

My Business

my business is making and selling African outfits. I started by selling the vitenges then later managed to get a small shop which I rented. now I sell the vitenges n even make outfits out of them n sell too I also managed to get a n xtra person to help with tailoring. am greatful that zidisha came in and has made me even grow more. thanks

Loan Proposal

I intend to use the loan to buy a variety of vitenges with different prints.This will help me be able to get a ready market for the outfits. This will help me be able to pay for my children's school fees and also cater for my bills. Currently each piece I buy at Ksh1000/- and when I make and outfit, I sell one at ksh2500/- making a profit of ksh1500/-.this has really encouraged me a lot.

    Loan was originally scheduled to take two months, but took more than a year to pay off. I admire Jacklyne's commitment to make small regular payments as well as her comments explaining her situation.
