Entrepreneur

About Me

I'm Raisa Ochieng' a first born in a family of three. I was born in 1988 24th December. I cleared primary school in the year 2001. Joined high school in the year 2002 and cleared in 2005. My dad, a retired pharmacist retired when I had hardly cleared primary education. My mom a tailor, struggled to take me through high school. Due to always being sent home for school fees, I missed lots of lessons and therefore didn't perform as I had expected in high school. I got a mean grade of C minus. After that I volunteered at my previous primary school as a volunteer teacher. It is then that my colleagues raised cash and saw me through college. I joined Nairobi Aviation college to study Mass communication. I cleared my diploma course in 2010. Due to scarcity of jobs, I decided to venture into business. I would buy air fresheners and sell in carwashes. I got married to my husband in 2011, in 2012 we were blessed with a baby boy, it is then that my husband gave me capital to set up my retail shop. I believe since there are scarcity of jobs I could create job opportunities for the youths

My Business

Its mainly a retail shop. The shop is just within the court that I stay in.I set up this shop since there's none around and people would walk long distance for essential commodities.I sell majorly foodstuffs like bread, milk,buns, eggs, rice, flour, toiletries, stationery. With the help of Zidisha, I have managed to incorporate cereals in the shop. I'm looking forward to make it a wholesale shop with the help of Zidisha.I have also recently in cooperated ice lollies in the shop which boost me so much. I have a boy whom I have employed at the shop to held him with his basic needs

Loan Proposal

With the help of Zidisha, I introduced bulk shopping in the shop. I started buying stock in cartons unlike before when I used to buy in dozens. This has really helped me since I hardly run out of stock. However I really need to buy fast moving goods in cartons too. This include detergents and toiletries. I plan to use Ksh1095 to buy 1carton sunlight washing powder 40g. I will use Ksh 860 to buy 1carton of Ariel washing powder 45g. I will buy 1carton of whitewash laundry soap costing Ksh 1100, 1 carton sawa toilet soap at Ksh 640. The remaining amount will buy 2 dozens Colgate toothpaste, 1bale of kensalt table salt 250g and add some cereals. Looking forward to positive feedback towards this loan proposal which will be highly appreciated. Thanks in Advance lender, may God continue blessing you abundantly.
