About Me

Business has been my passion since i was 8. I had the privilege of going to school and my dad took care of me till i got to senor high school. I became a store for almost 5 years and that made me like doing business. So i decided to make my own trade capital from what i was earning from being the sales girl. Now, I am my own boss and I buy and sale.
I have a son that i'm proud of and i take care of him very well to make a good future for him.

My Business

I buy maize, tomatoes and beans in larger quantity and retail them in my neighborhood.
people buy a lot from me and it makes me happy that i also make those items available for them. Even when i don't have goods to sell, my neighbors do come to my house until I go to the main market, which is 7 minutes drive from my house and after a get my stock ready then they buy them from me.
I believe that it's because of the way I treat them when they buy from me, that is why they always want to buy my stuff and no where else.

Loan Proposal

I will use the loan to purchase more of my inventories to sell. And i think that doing that will make stock available all the time at my shop and also I'll be able to buy in larger quantity from the market therefore will make my inventories cheaper than before.

    If I do not mention or say anything my progress in my retail shop then I'm no human. I have been able to acquire an extra table in addition to what I had and this is really making me feel big and that I'm so grateful to Zidisha for your helping hand.

    As the saying goes, "now I'm also someone". Not only the benefits, my neighbors are even more happier than I do. Always I have stock available for purchase, customers get what they want and what they need as well. I am not thanking you for helping me grow my retail business but thank you for creating zdisha microfinance.
