About Me
My name is Jane Wangui, born and raised in Nakuru town in the Rift Valley region of Kenya. I was born in a family of 5 and I am the third born. My parents are farmers who practised food farming. The food was mainly for feeding the family and they would sell the surplus to meet other family needs.
I went to school up to secondary school level and then joined a college where I took a course in beauty and hair care. I later relocated to Mombasa to live with my sister. This is where I started a business dealing with sale of second hand clothes. This is what I am still doing and this business supports my 2 children.
My Business
I deal with retailing second hand clothes in an open air market. I normally get the clothes from importers and then retail. I am surrounded by working people and these are my main clients. I make between $120 and $200 per month which I use to support my family.
I intend to open a stall in near future so that I can direct my clients to a permanent place as opposed to what I am doing right now. It is my hope that by benefitting from Zidisha loans, I will be able to achieve my dream soon.
Loan Proposal
I will use the money to re-stock my stall in readiness for the coming high season which comes towards the end of the year. I am keen to stock women and children wear which tend to do well during this time.
I will make a trip to Nairobi where I can get quality second hand clothes at a fair price. I will spend USD 420 for the clothes and the balance will cater for transport and other small expenses.
This loan is very important since I will give my business the much needed momentum and enable me to compete and have an edge among my peers.
