About Me

I am a human resource graduate from Jomo Kenyatta university and entrepreneur. i am passionate about business and have been looking forward to becoming a high profile self employed business lady. I am well versed with community development programs and have been a member of juja youth mentor-ship program initiated under the National Youth council. I love watching movies and adventuring. I also ave a great passion in environment conservation and have also been participating in tree planting programs around the region.

My Business

Having lived in Kenya, the African culture has instilled fear in people when purchasing condoms over the counter. In most cases the buyer thinks that buying a condom will make them seen as irresponsible. I therefore initiated a project called "DIAL-A-CONDOM" whereby clients get to call and get a condom at their door step, thus making it easier for the clients to feel free to purchase condoms. I have since received many clients and have even opened a small office to cater for the business. I normally get the condom supply from a wholesaler situated in Nairobi capital city at a relatively lower price. my project has been greatly acknowledged by the whole community including the leaders since it really assists in reduction of new HIV infections for the clients who are afraid to purchase condoms over the counter since they now feel they have the confidence to dial a condom.

Loan Proposal

Dear Lenders,
Its my greatest pleasure to have this opportunity to develop my business dreams to reality. I will use the entire funds to purchase more different variaties and higer quatities. This will defently increase my sales and returns and hence grow to a higer level. My business also as a great impact in the health sector in our community since it will contriibute much to the reduction of HIV and other sexually transmited infections.
I hereby welcome you to offer your kind assistance.
Thank you all!!

    Hi Anne,

    it's a great project which seems to be perfect for a platform like this. I just googled around a bit and found i.e. this link: www.awcfs.org/new/index.php...

    Is that a family member of yours? Do you run a website already? As you don't show any numbers in your project description I think that would help to give potential lenders here some additional trust in your profile and concept...

    Thx and all the best

    Hi Anne, it is obvious that many here agree that your project is great and brave undertaking, and I also could not agree more.
    I am just wondering about your marketing strategies in order for it to have a wider impact.
    Perhaps offering a free condom by referral, or when an existing client brings in a new one. Or perhaps giving them away in the context of some public health oriented event. I would be more than happy to contribute with funding of such projects...
    All the best to you :))

    I am grateful for the opportunity to help you with your business.. Has this marketing approach for condoms been tried elsewhere? I am eager to learn whether this will lead to an overall increase in the use of condoms, or whether it is only that those who have been purchasing them over the counter who turn to you.
    I commend you for choosing a business aimed improving public health.

      Thanks Hughpat for your question.Am not yet sure wherther it has been used somewhere else but according to the clients i have it has been to much of help since most of them did not know where to turn to. I never knew many people had such fear. In addition it not only helps those in fear but if you one is caught in a situation where they cannot find a shop/chemist to buy condoms from.

      i think Ann's business concept works for the Kenyan market just like mobile money transfer service (Mpesa) has been successful.
