I was brought up in humble background by my parents in Kiserian Kajiado county. I did my primary and secondary school levels in Kiserian. Later I joined college and did the course on Food Production. I have been employed for the last 12 years and I later decided to quit and start my own hotel.
The uniqueness of our land and culture being a Maasai is that we have a rich culture that attracts tourists all over the world to see Maasai people and how they have preserved their culture.
I am a single mother of two children, a boy and a girl. My daughter would like to be doctor and my son a pilot.
My hobby is swimming and playing tennis
I provide fast foods and soft drinks. With the busy lifestyle, people prefer fast foods because they can take away and eat at their appropriate time.
I chose this business because of my career in Food production.
My typicals costs initially I started with a capital of Ksh100,000 because I had to buy jiko, friers, seats and tables, rent and renovations. Currently I use Ksh30,000 per month.
I use the profits I derive from my business to educate my children, pay house rent, and buy food
The loan will be used to add stock of food supplies which are fruits and vegetables.It will enable me get the supplies on time and meet my customer demands.I will be able to even further surpass my targets for this consumables are on high demand.It will enable me pay supplies who bring the commodities straight to my food kiosk which will minimise time wastage.It will also enable me search for more customerswithin my territory due to sufficient time i have.
The fact that corona disease has lowered income in many households,consumer demand for fruits and vegetables has not decreased.Vegetables and fruits have been recommented by health institutions.So,this is the fastest source of income in that.fruits and vegetables are sold on cash term basis and not on credit hence steady source of cash to repay the loan.Also,the supplies know that this goods are on high demand so they supply them on time.
