About Me

I went to a primary school called Rabai Road Nairobi, then to secondary high school at Ngiya Girls' High School, after which I joined college and did administration and counseling courses.

My life has not been a bed of roses. After losing my job 10 years ago, I have tried my hands in so many businesses, which I failed. Two years ago, however, I joined hands with a friend and we started outside catering and event planning.

This has helped me educate my children. I must admit that I am indeed a proud mother and a proud businesswoman. My children are my source of inspiration. They all have different careers.

My Business

I am in the outside catering and event planning business. I choose this business because the market is wide and in-demand here in Kenya.

I provide outside catering to weddings, parties, funerals, etc. In a good weekend when I get a good order, I can make 50,000 KSH after all the expenses. When business is low, I can even make 15,000 KSH depending on the service that I am hired to give.

My profit I will reinvest and pay school fees for my children.

Loan Proposal

Buy business equipments, eg dinner plates , one plate costs 350 Kenya shillings.
This will give me 12 pieces of plates, by additional of dinner plates i will have cut down on my expenses when it comes to hiring of dinner plate.

my profit will have increased by 2,400 Kenya shillings
