Personal Story
I was born in Bungoma, Western Kenya. My parents then moved to Mombasa then Embu. I went to school in Western then went to Uganda for Secondary school then came back to Kenya for college education where I took a human resource management course. I am currently an entrepreneur dealing with African stuff, women handbags, poultry and Rabbit farming.
Business Description
I do African wear making dresses for children, ladies and men, handbags, shoes, seat covers, curtains, purses and African gifts like printing on rock. ( Chic Afrique Kenya on facebook). All the above are made in African material. Inspired by passion and driven by Masai dress, I started my business in 2014.
In 2017 i started ontrack Media Agency ( www.ontrackmedia.co.ke which is a Marketing and Advertising Agency . It was doing well till Corona hit !! i had to close my office , sales drop since almost all my clients were working from home and just didn't need printing services much. I had to think out of box since i also believe in diversity.
In 2018 , i started Keyla Zuri Stores (check out on facebook) named after my only 2 year old daughter so that am able to channel some savings into her account to plan her future. i still have a lot of stock but the market is really low
In April 2020, i began Poultry and Rabbit ,and onion farming ( Zurik Farm on Facebook) i sell both chicken, eggs and chicken manure . I also sell rabbit urine to other farmers, rabbit meat and rabbit manure. I sold almost all stock and bought 1 acre where i intend to settle with my daughter in the near future. Due to financial constrains i appeal for your help so that am able to increase my flock and feed them. Among all my business its Farming that is doing better the rest are a bit slow.
I have many pictures of all my business i request my lenders to visit the above facebook pages for more information and videos
I have the order of tailoiring sits cushion covers for a client. I do not have the material required in store so i ask for your support again. I must admit Zidisha is really taking my business to another level. May God bless you for your continued support.
Regards,
Leila
