About Me

I, Beatrice Moraa, was born in 1986 and joined my Kenya Primary Education in 1994-2000 where I completed Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) in 2000 from Nyamokenye Primary School. Later, in 2001-2004, I joined Bishop Mongendi Nyamokenye Secondary School where I completed my Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE). In the year 2005, I joined computer school and 2010 Pre diploma in mechanical engineering at Kenya Polytechnic 2011-2013 and later diploma in chemical engineering in 2014.

My Business

Myself, I am hard working and like business. Apart from working, I have been selling clothing as a source of income to run my business. Each bale of secondhand clothes costs KES 9000 and it makes a profit of up to KES 5000 when the bale package is good or, at a minimum, I can make 2500 when the bale package is bad. In this business, I still do not have a shop, but I make my sales only on market days. Most of the days, I am working with an oil field company since the start of this year at Schlumberger Mombasa.

Loan Proposal

If my loan is funded, I am planning to purchase two bales of secondhand leather jackets @ 10 USD and use 4 USD for transportation.

The demand is high now because its rain season, thus I will be able to sell more pieces and get 4% profit which will enable me to repay my loan and expand my business. Also, my customers will be able to get jackets to keep them warm in this season.
