About Me

am a lady aged 26 .having completed a diploma in purchase and supplies from Kenya institute of management in 2010.am looking for a job but also doing my small business to cater for every days living.am combining business with studies as i have started a professional diploma in purchase and supplies in Nairobi but i manage very well and i thank my customers very much.
my parents live in thika and i had to move to kasarani where i live with my sister as i undertake studies and also business.
from my proceeds am able to cater for daily bread and also maintenance and expand my small business.

My Business

my business is home based.initially i got loans from family members my parents and also my brothers and sister. i manage it through calls and social media like Facebook.i do supply pork products from farmers choice and i have several layers back in mang'u village and as at the moment i got a lot of tomatoes i have grown ready to be harvested and am supplying to local markets like kamwangi and Gatukuyu.
i had also reared 200 quail birds before the market was interfered with but that dint make me loose hope.
as i said i mix several activities,through friends am able to buy clothing's and sell to them especially guys i buy socks,boxers ,vest but on order,
combining all this am able to have big profit.

Loan Proposal

First of all I would like to thank all of my previous Lenders who kindheartedly offered to assist me. I was able to take my soil for sampling and the green house was treated and advised what else i can plant.
Currently Am interested in planting strawberries in the green house. Am requesting Lenders to assist me with money so I can be able to purchase the things required for it.e.g there is a nylon paper that is required where I will place the seedlings instead of soil,this will reduce the amount of weed attack and save a lot of water.
Last loan i was able to pay on time and i believe even this time i will do so without failure,I wont let you down my Lenders.
