About Me

i am simon kamau married with one child.i was born in eldoret constituency in uasingishu county i grew up there until i finished my primary education when i joined passenga secondary school in nyandarua county and did my form four certificate.i then moved to Nairobi where i stayed in my brothers house.my brother had a shop and so he hired me,i worked and lived with him until when i got married i moved out and rented my own house.due to the experience i got from the business i decided to my one for my wife though a small kiosk since i didn't have that much money.

My Business

i work in my brothers shop though i have a small kiosk which is operated by my wife,the kiosk consist of basic commodities like maize flour,sugar,rice etc. i have always wanted my business to be like that of my brother and that's why i work very hard day by day and boost the business with my salary.mlango kubwa is a highly populated place and the business here is very good,my only problem is how to get the money to stock my kiosk and i will highly appreciate if i get this great chance to borrow from you.

Loan Proposal

dear lenders; thank you very much for making me one of your beneficiaries.after finishing paying my first loan am very happy to borrow from you once again.your fist loan helped me a lot in boosting my stock,but as you know there is never enough stock in a business to satisfy all of your customers.i wish to use this opportunity you have given to us to add more stock.at the moment and during back to school season,the demand for stationary is very high and given that there are couple of schools in my area this will be the best time to buy such a goods.i will use part of the money to buy textbooks,exercise books ,pens,pencils etc.
