About Me

I have five children who are all schooling, two are in secondary school while three of them are in primary school. I am a businesswoman dealing with a retail shop that also includes selling cereals, mostly dry grains.I live in Kiptangwanyi shopping centre in my plot number 360. kiptangwanyi shopping centre is about 42 km from Nakuru town which is our major town. this is where we go for shopping for the goods that I sell in my retail shop. From Nakuru to Kiptangwanyi is 200ksh. The nearest known shopping centre is Elementaita which is about 12 km from Kiptangwanyi. Elementaita is on your way from Nakuru to Kiptangwanyi. I started the business after I realized the potential of this business especially in this area which happens to be in the interior and thus the need for providing services to the dwellers who resulted in a high demand for the commodities that I sell to them.

My Business

My business entails a retail shop that also includes the sale of cereals, mostly dry grains. there is a very high demand for the commodities that I sell because the area has a good supply of the products that come from Mau and some parts of Nakuru. the demand is also high because the population of this area exceeds the production to which the locals produce annually. this results in demand for outside supply. this prompted me to venture in this type of business. my monthly costs include transport costs, electricity and water. The main challenges that my business encounter include bad weather which affects our sources of supply, theft. I am currently using my profits to expand my business to provide services to other neghbouring shopping centres.

Loan Proposal

Dear Lenders,
I want to use this second loan that I will get from Zidisha organization to do the following. First, I would like to use the loan to buy more cereals especially now when the farmers are selling due to plenty harvest that we are having here. The price for one bag is 2000ksh and with good capital I will be able to purchase good quantity that I will store and sell during the dry season. Secondly, I would like to transport some quantities of beans to Nairobi for sale and the loan that I will get from Zidisha organization will be very helpful.
