About Me

Am Erick momanyi, I live in kisii Kenya, i went to tendere primary school then completed my secondary education at sameta high school, I got a C at my secondary education but I wasn't able to join college because of financial problems.
I decided to start a small business that would help me save which will allow me further my studies in one of the local colleges here in kisii.
I have passion for business and I'll love to take business management in college.

My Business

I started my business in 2018, the intent of starting this business is to to help me save enough to help me join college by the start of next year, I'll still keep selling the second clothes because I'll be taking evening classes.
I sell second hand clothes in my local market, mostly I deal with men's clothes, Both casual wear and official.
I have been able to build a good clientele which has raised the demand for my clothes, I hope zidisha will help me increase my stock.

Loan Proposal

Its my sincere hope that you are doing well, i woul like to apply for a loan of kes 17000, i will invest this loan in getting a bail of casual trousers this will be a mixture of soft khakis and chinos. My clients have been asking for this and i would like to add it in my stock, a bail will cost me 12500, the remaining amount i will use it to get face mask, at the moment its mandatory for everyone to wherr a face mask and they are in demand.
Thanks for the support you have been giving me hope we continue working together.

Income Source

The pandemic has hurt many businesses but i had to find a new way to coop because i need to make a living, i have taken advantage of online platforms like jiji, pigiame and even Facebook, i take photos of my clothes and if someone is interested they contact me and we arrange on how to get, its not costly since the buyer carters for delivery charges, this has helped me kerp afloat and am sure it will sustain me through this difficult period.
