About Me

Am Stephen Njue,46 a father of three.
Am a postgraduate business student in the University of Embu.
I've been under difficulty situations financially when it comes to raising my family,my schooling and other basics.
So then I found this organization on the internet,it sounded like a source of help to my financial needs especially in Education.

My Business

I own acoffee shop.
I sell coffee,mandazi, chapati, sausages and Smokies near the University.
This is why I win my bread from every day.

Loan Proposal

Since my business is now gearing up,I need to create more customers.
I really need to market it since now it is a lit place to take coffee.
I will use the funds to network and get to places to make vigorous advertisement.
I'll pay for google ads and youtube marketing through clicks.
I plan to use part of the funds in benchmarking,see how big established businesses are operating around maybe I'll take in some useful ideas for the coffee shop.
I'll buy some of my basics too,house necessities and look if you here are other schooling needs to be financed by the rest of the funds.

Income Source

I'm planning to market my business, well I mean vigorous advertisement around my society.
Gaining customers will be another vital move to continue holding up my business in the competitive environment.
And this way,it will make much returns back.
