About Me
mercy a very stubborn but determined while growing,,after school fell in love and got married because of poverty thinking that it's the best solution but instead got married to a poor man (they say its blind) unfortunately he passed away and left with two boys, being a die hard, I started cooking food from the house and taking them to offices, fortunately they loved it and that's how I found favor from one of the known company (Nairobi Water) and from there I opened a restaurant through the contracts I got from them, it gives me moral because I love my job it has made one of my kids wants to become a chef,my target utali college and the other an engineer,, my hobbies are cooking,, talking,, reading, swimming,, yeah that's me.
My Business
I deal with Breakfast and lunch,,and I focus mostly on traditional kind like for breakfast sweet potatoes, cassava, etc and for lunch brown ugali,, omena, fish,traditional vegetables meat but made traditionally, (Aliyah) etc and of course the digital kind of food the fast foods to target the youth,,,I focus so much on the traditional kind because as I said I deliver to Nairobi Water of course they are aged and don't like spiced food which of course I don't use. When you get your food and drinks and grocery at a wholesale you get double and with food you never go wrong, I chose that because apart from business it's what I love doing as a hobby,, being a widow it has helped me to settle my bills, fees, rent,,,,, and in future plans to open another restaurant,,,
Loan Proposal
