About Me

I am a 29-year-old born-again Christian. I have a degree in sales and marketing and a diploma in secretarial studies. The main aim of getting into business was to help my mum and younger sibling better their lives, since employment was not forthcoming. I started "Nthiga Fashion House" where I sell new clothes for women. We design the clothes ourselves and sell in supermarkets, malls and other outlets that sell women's clothes. I have 5 employees under me as well.

Besides singing, I am also a good guitar player. My hobbies include reading and watching movies.

My Business

I own "Nthiga Fashion House" where I sell new clothes for women. We design the clothes with my employees. The clothes are sold in supermarkets and malls, some are hawked and others sold to outlets that deal with women's clothes. We also design clothes for special occasions such as weddings, graduations and social gatherings.

I intend to start a clothes design school within my premises so that we can pass our skills to other people who have the zeal and talent. Our main source of income comes from selling the clothes designed at our fashion house.

The overhead costs include rent, salaries, buying raw materials and other miscellaneous expenses. On a good month, I can make up to $ 1,000 in profit.

Loan Proposal

Hi everyone,

The first two loans have helped me take my business from scratch to a thriving outfit. Back in the day, I could hardly afford stock worth Kes 10,000 (about $100). However, thanks to Zidisha I have stock worth more than Kes 100,000 (about $1,000) at the moment. The schools are about to close here and I want to add more stock with my 3rd loan. That way, I can cash in the spending spree associated with the holiday season. I'm also looking forward to making more sales as we head into the long Christmas holiday. You've trusted me with your money before and this time I promise to be faithful again. Kindly help me take my business to the next level. Let's do this :)

Regards

Nancy
