About Me

My name is Lucas, a resident of Kisumu, Kenya. I am 42 years old, physically challenged and a teacher by profession. My parents were peasant farmers who couldnt see me through school. I benefited from a sponsorship program upto University. I am a father of five, all of whom are in boarding schools. This is what motivated me to start a shoe-selling business to make ends meet. I would wish to expand to wholesale but lack the capital to do so.

My Business

I operate a small shop in Kisumu town, next to the Kenya National Library Services. I have employed one saleslady to assist. The proceeds, though not much, help supplement my pay as a public school teacher to support my family. It is my hope that this business will one day grow big enough to support myself and allow for savings for the purpose of expansion.

Loan Proposal

It is my expectation that the business has gained enough traction and is therefore ready to move to the next level. I have done retail for relatively long so i intend to begin wholesale because of the sustained interest from clients. This will be achieved by moving to a bigger premise that can accommodate more stock both for direct display and storage.
