About Me

I grew in small village called mahiga . I schooled there up to class eight and due to luck of fund I did not get further education . I left home so that I could look for a living to leave space for the other siblings and to look for money to assist my parents to educate the others. I got daily wages from big farm owners and for about three years i saved and managed to buy a bicycle. I started selling local vegetables from house to house with the bicycle. Due to dry seasons the vegetables were not available so i started cooking half cakes (kangumus). With kangumu i managed to save selling second hand clothes and shoes and save yet more to open a retail shop then due to competition i left shopkeeping to bakery up to date.with bakery through zidisha lender i have a house for my family .anyway am married and have seven children now five of them are at school .i like reading the bible with them when e are free. i like it so much. a part from my children i have three of my sister who was left by her husband. and we are doing good.

My Business

I bake cakes, teascorns breads and buns.I also deepfly dognuts.I prepare drinks like tea and coffe and other drink eg joise and sodas and sell it in my kiosk.The nearest area where you can find a producd of the same is ten km ,thus making my product of demand within my locality.I trust and believe people must eat to live. So decided to bring a unique product.I usually make 1500 to1700 kes dairy and save a third of my dairy profit.I use my profit in food suplement ,pay school for children and buy small sheep and goat and rear them to sell when they are big enough.I use to sell at good price.I am also used to give2000 to 3000kes to my old parents to cater for household.

Loan Proposal

I want to buy electronic oven worth 500 dollars, and and machine for making packaging of the cake for wholesale this will cost me 850 dollars Now that the government has also ban the cutting of trees burning of charcoal ,I find it wise to buy electronic ways of baking, instead of charcoal. Also the ban of polythene bag ,forced me find any way of packing my cake ,to sale to the other retail shops. Having those machine will keep my work , and save me from law trasgretion and also save our environment. It will save my job to sustain my family, at the same time save weather and the surroundings. Also electricity is cheaper than charcoal ,thus my earning will increase at least 30% . also i will be save from carbon that charcoal produces .with all those advantage , am hoping my lenders help me achieve my goals . welcome.
