About Me

I am a Kenyan lady, the first-born child in a family of four. Having completed my studies in 1992, I got married the following year and I currently have four children. I have ventured into various businesses in the past year, mostly dealing in retail, which has been of great support to me supplementing my husband's income.

My Business

I have ventured into retail shops in the past, which has supplemented my husband's income, especially when his business is off-season. I am currently venturing into animal husbandry, of which I mostly deal in dairy cattle rearing. At first I was vending the produce (milk) to neighbours and friends, which was almost always done with orders, but in the past two years I have been supplying milk to local dairies.

Loan Proposal

I am a mother of four children (three girls and one boy). The boy sat for his primary education last year (k.c.p.e) and performed fairly well. His calling letter (to join high school) came and he joined high school. I therefore need this loan to clear his fee arrears and buy his drugs, as he is sickly.

    The corona pandemic has made cross border movement and trade almost impossible this has negativelly affected my sales forcing me to adjust my instalment thus until such a time that the sales will be favourable.

    The corona pandemic has apparently wreaked havoc on my business with cessation of cross border trade has result in a major drop in my sales I therefore have no alternative but to reduce my instalments to an agreeable amount.

    Ever since the first case of covid 19 was reported in the country (Kenya) the government declared curfew among other measures that has halted my business hence my inability to repay the originally agreed instalment thus pronting me to review the instalment downward thanks and sorry for this.

    The covid pandemic has not only caused a cessation of movement in major counties in the country but also nationwide curfew and closure of borders this is negatively affected flow of cash leading to my inability to pay the original installment but once the situation improves I intend to revert to my initial installment plan.

    Due to the covid19 pandemic a curfew has been imposed on us this has impacted negatively on sales and as such on my income and ability to repay on hence my decision to reduce my installment

    I am currently experiencing difficulties in my business I would therefore like to reduce the installment amount until such a time it would be favorable for me to continue with the current installments.

    since I will be using the money in paying for my daughter's school fee and not investing in any business venture I think the repayment schedule is on the higher side thus the need to reschedule.
