About Me

My names are Fatuma Bakari Ali I was born in Kilifi county Bofa village a place known as shingila. Situated along Bofa road. I am a business lady and single mother of two handsome boys the last one being three years old and bouncing very well. The first born is in class eight and he got position two last term. I did not complete my secondary education due to lack of school fees but I was determined to start a tailoring business around Kilifi area/town and is doing fine with my member churches being my customers.

My Business

My business tailoring and dress making and includes also buying and selling of cloth materials where by I do buy them at Mombasa at low price and sell them at a profit.I have been in the business for over six years and at first I used to do it at home then later I got a small shop in the town .The competition is high but due to the good work that I do and services that I provide people come to my shop for dress making. Even new people get to know me before real seeing each other due to the good massage I send to the community. With this loan I will buy more materials and I bealive with this April holidays I will make a lot of money.

Loan Proposal

first and foremost thanks a lot for approving my application. I will use this loan to add more stock to my shop. I had wish to add more materials to my shop and I believe this time around I will be able. Am also targeting the August market where by there will be more weddings and i hope that I will not miss to orders of materials.
