About Me

I was born in 1957. I started my education at mazeras primary school then joined sacred heart high school. I was not able to job for about 11 years the employed at a higher purchase shop for about 10 years then the company collapsed. I then went back home doing small labour work. I decided to start repairing shoes.

My Business

I do shoe repair at mazeras town. Mazeras is very populated many people bring their shoes at my shop for repair. I choose this kind of business because it needs a small capital to start. My typical cost and revenue is 2500 KES for license per year, 500 KES for tools and materials. I used the profit to pay school fees for my son and home improvement.

Loan Proposal

I will buy materials for making new shoes at $20, I will buy 6 rolls of sowing threads at $ 1 each and 5 types of shoe polish at $3 each. It will increase my profit by $ 2 per day.

    Dear lenders, I spoke to Johnson Mbito this morning, he said that he travelled for the burial of his granddaughter, when he came back he had no money to continue with his business. But he was given some capital by his brother two weeks ago and he promised to resume repaying his loan on Sunday. Thankyou.
