About Me

i was born and brought up in nandi county, schooled in nandi and part of western region of kenya. i had to go to school with difficulty of fees as parents had no stable jobs but all in all i tried my best to study. after studies as there are no jobs, i borrowed some money from a friend to start up my business then repay it back, i started it with $30 but now it has grow to a worth of almost $ 800. i want to see a success in my business from sale of women hand bags to a boutique.
i come from a land rich in milk and the weather there is good. we are blessed with rains all the time. My son wants to be a doctor when he grows up and its my greatest happiness to see him pursue his studies to the higher level. i like singing and guiding and counselling people. I also do capacity building on women in the villages and through this many have been able to save money and start small businesses supporting their families.

My Business

i buy and sell ladies hand bags, i got to the market and discovered that most women need these handbags as they run many errands here and there thus if they have these bags they put in all their stuffs and move easily from one place to another without worries, i chose this business to be able to meet these women's needs thus reduce their worries.
my business being young, my revenues are $20 per week.
i use my profits on savings for my children, school fees, reinvestment in my business, diversifying the business to other viable opportunities, home improvements.
i have expanded my business and major mostly on cyber business as it has led to me getting more income.

Loan Proposal

Iam grateful to zidisha lenders on the first loan because i have really grown and am also grateful to God Almighty. may He bless the zidisha community at large abundantly! I reinvested part of my profit to the cyber business and things are getting on well. I want to buy a printer in my new cyber worth $120 and stationeries for printing worth $80. this is what i need at the moment as the services offered are on demand. i decided to venture in two things so that i can reach the market with ease.
my passion is to be able to reach my customers with ease and with best services. i also want them benefit from zidisha as i have invited some to take up loans for studies, business, farming and many more projects.
i will be able to get more and more customers due to higher demand in my services thus my earnings increasing.
i expect my profits to increase to 50% or even more so that i can be able to reinvest on something else that goes with the market, like clothing sales, expanding my cyber.
