My country Kenya is full of what I would call traditional culture of diverse communities. In the community I live in, what we do best is cultural music. I'm actually a student of cultural music. The town I live in today is a tourist attraction where people from other countries come to view the famous flamingo birds. We love visitors so much and are ready to welcome them.
My four children have different kinds of interests in life. My first son have interest in online and digital business. The rest who are still in school also have their interests. My two girls want to do medicine, while my last born son wants to be in aviation.
During my free time, I like travelling and being around my family especially when not training on music. I love being with people and changing ideas.
I provide grocery foodstuffs and related home consumables in my business. Foodstuffs have always been in demand since I started my business. Although not much profitable especially at the level I now operate, I'm planning to increase my stock in order to attract a higher profit in the business. I chose food business because sales are constant even when there is an economic recession.
I incur costs for licenses at the beginning of the year to the local authority, and paying the rent for my shop.
I use my profits to pay school fees for my children, and reinvest whatever amount I may save. About 20% of my savings go to community aid. I'm in a business group where we help destitute children get education by raising some small amounts of money per person. I thank zidisha team for the good job they're doing to help the community.
Thank you and regards,
Esther Nyokabi.
When I receive the loan, I will buy maize and beans worth USD 20 because this will increase my profit with some margin. This will benefit me and my family by improving our living standard. I shall also try as much to help my community. My profit will a least increase by about 15%.
