About Me

My name is Beth Wanjiku Njau and a resident of Nakuru town. my home is located in Pangani estate just two kilometers from the town.am a window with three children who are in secondary school.l dropped out of school after completing my primary education due to lack of school fees and there after l was employed by my uncle as a waitress in his hotel.After working for three years in the hotel industry my friend introduced me to the (mitumba) business of selling second hand clothes and my business is located in bargain market of Nakuru town.l use my income to support my children by providing for them the basic needs such as paying school fees.and also save part of income so as to meet the needs of my children and develop myself economically.

My Business

l have been in (mitumba) second hand business for the last twenty years.my business is located in bargain market of Nakuru town.the business is good and very profitable as long as you are able to meet the customers taste.l normally sell newborns clothes as the demand for these clothes is not influenced by factors such as weather or seasons.l manage to sell a bale every week at a profit of ks 8,000.this is because the children wear are not expensive.though there is a lot of competition from boutique shop l make sure that the clothes are of good quality and the p[rices are affordable to my customers.if advanced with the loan l will be able to add more stock to the business.

Loan Proposal

Dear lenders.l take this opportunity to thank everyone for the good job that you are doing. may almighty God bless you as you work tirelessly to improve people life.l have a second hand clothes business and l will use the loan to buy more stock for my business so as to increase sales and meet the demand of my customers.

    Hi lenders and the entire Zidisha team,l am grateful for the loan you gave me,it has been of help.As l had told you l decided to sell the umbrellas.l found a wholesaler who sold to me in a fair price.l bought big and small umbrellas,l am sellig them because now its the rainy season,l plan to use the profits to finish paying the loan.

    These umbrellas are bought from wholesalers because they are cheap while buying from them.l am still doing research and comparing prices from different wholesalers so that l can get the one who is cheapest because this will help me earn more profit.l hope to start this business and through your support it will be successful.

    l hope my new business will do well as time proceeds and this will help me to pay the remaining loan so that you can advance me with another loan.Continue being patient with me.l also came across a new business idea of selling umbrellas,When rain pours everyone try to look for an umbrella so that they can take shelter in it.

    As l had told you about the new business idea l had in mind,l was able to save some cash through the sale of one of my bales,and l was able to bring a bale of jackets.The business is picking up well because this is the cold season in my county and most people require jackets in order to prevent themselves from catching a cold.

    l got this idea about selling jackets,from one of my friends.This is because most time of the year,the weather changes and it becomes cold.Therefore the demand for jackets increases.l have done my research and discovered that one bale of jackets costs 10000 and it makes a profit of 15000 after every 3 weeks.l would like to venture into this business.
