About Me

I am a Kenyan named Robai Minayo Amukhoye. I was born in 1975 in Bulukhova village, Muhudu sub-location, Tiriki East location, Hamisi sub-county, Vihiga County of Western province Kenya. I am married in Kisasi village of Kisasi Sub-location, Shamakhokho location, Hamisi Sub-county of Vihiga County to Cyprian Shokokoti and have six children two boys and four girls all still in school. I am business woman selling fish (fish monger).I started in 2005 up to date but just with financial strains. I humbly request Zidisha group to consider me and lend me alone at least I may boast my business.

My Business

I was born in Bulokhova village. I started schooling in Kamulembe primary school up to standard eight (8) and due to poverty my parents didn’t manage to take me to high school. Life became so difficult to me of which I was forced to get married in 1994 and life became more straining of which forced me to begin thinking on how to begin a business. I started farming and harvested five bags of maize and 1 bag of beans. So I sold two bags and I got money to start this business in 2005. The main problem I have is financial strains and I have a very difficult time to make my vision come true due high demand of money for school fees.
I wish my children to be well in future. My hobby is business and I wish to expand my business in this way:
1. Fishes worth 10,000/= which is equivalent to 112 US dollars.
2. Omena (fingerlings) worth 5,000/= equivalent to 62 US dollars.
3. Poultry feeds worth 5,000/= equivalent to 62 US dollars.
I therefore kindly request you to grant me the loan and I will manage to multiply my business at least two times and I will be able to kickoff this monster called poverty and lack out of my life.

Loan Proposal

This loan wants boast my business in order to maintain my business, schools for my children, be able to intensify farming for a better living life. I m applying $230 US dollars for 2 sacks of 'Omena' or fish fingerling. I want to increase business by 2 sacks
