I am Anne Mwihaki Kariuki born in the Rift Valley part of Kenya. Started my primary School level i 1998 up to 2009 when i did my class eight when i did my final exams at primary level. From a family of seven, i have both parents who are farmers. I am the fifth born in the family. I joined Nyandarua high school in the central part of kenya in the year 2010 luckily, because my parents weren't able to pay up my fees so my grandmother took that responsibility. My parents were not able to pay my fees as a result of the post election violence that occurred. In spite of the challenges that i faced while in high school i did not give up, i kept on pushing. I got sent home for fees several times but this did not take me down i was determined to finish my secondary level. I did finish fortunately in the year 2013 but i wasn't able to join college due to lack of fees. I decided to move to Nairobi where i got my first job working as a waitress this is where i managed to save and got capital to open a general shop which i run up to date. Have also open a new salon which am running to maximize my profit.
I run a general shop which is located along Jogoo road opposite City Stadium next to Shell Petrol Station and Burma market. I really struggled to raise this business's capital because my parents weren't able to support me since they are small scale farmers and were taking responsibility of the other young ones. It took me up to one year to raise the capital for starting this shop. I have now worked for one year and a couple of months and besides challenges that am facing its really doing well. I am applying for Zidisha loan so that i am able to expand this business and also open an Mpesa shop services and hoping for a smooth run.
I would like to use my loan to purchase saloon equipment. First i would like to buy a dryer which cost 100 USA dollars and then blow dry machine which will cost 50 USA dollars. This equipment will help me in serving my customers better and also giving them a quality service. This will also boost my profit margin. I will use my profit to restock my retail shop so as maximize my profit from 20 USA dollars to 35 USA dollars. Thanks zidisha for making me achieve my dream business.
