About Me

I am Grace, a student at the local university. I also run a side business of sewing to raise money for my family. I am passionate about all things Africa and proud to be a young female entrepreneur.
I hope to make it big soon and open my own boutique .

My Business

my sister and I run a clothing business for kids where we specialize in sewing African fabric inspired dresses, sunhats and tutus . we sell them via the various online platforms through social media platform and by participating in festivals where we apply for vendor tent.

Loan Proposal

We have been sewing up tutu dresses for girls and they have become such a hit and therefore the request for more is upon us. We have predominantly three designs clients could choose from and we now want to add a few twists to the outfit s to make them unique to each client. I will be buying tulle fabric in bulk and some new yards of extra African print that we use for top part of the outfit.

    My business is not doing so well because of the political tension currently in the country due to the prolonged electeneering period. Hopefully things will be better once they solve the stalemates
