My name is Elizabeth Anene.I am a Kenyan born citizen.I was born in Butere/Mumias District,Kwisero Division,Eshirombe location at the Ebuhala farm,Western Provice.
I am the fourth child in a 9 family members.After my college,I moved to Nakuru for an employment opportunity,which I made to land to a humble man,and later we did a church wedding.
Later I quit my employment and starter a small kiosk which has drastically expanded through re-investing back my profit to business.
Having been a house wife,its never been easy for me,since I had been used to work in the Nation in various capacities at different working conditions.
In the year 2014,I quit my employment and I started a small kiosk which was more accessible to villagers and the neighboring communities.
The trend was mostly not appreciating as most of the dwellers are casual workers in their respective works.
This hampered my business growth as most of the(customers) were coming on credit and later pay after they got paid.I trusted them for me to get more customers.
It was one morning way back 2015,when I got a call from a local radio station and told me that I had won the Radio Citizen draw,which qualified me the Kes.100,000/= shillings,which I had participated through sending a short SMS to their weekly draw.
This was a good start in financing my business.The money helped me to move to a bigger business room and also stocked more goods.
Today,I have a quite big number of good,reliable,daily customers who oftenly comes for my services in my General shop.
I will be able to stock more fast moving goods especially the edible items which is more moving than other commodities.
I am planning to use the first loan to purchase more breads,cakes,milk,sugar and corn flour.Thank you.
