my name is Francis Barasa , I was born in Western part of Kenya a place called Bungoma. I schooled at Machwele primary school and went to Bukembe Friends secondary school , after that I joined Sang'alo institute of science and technology but I I did not complete my education due to lack of school fees.
I am married to my beloved wife and we are blessed with two kids.
I later decided to start a small business that would enable me to provide for my family and our younger brothers and sisters from both sides. my aunt supported me with 3000 kenyan shillings of which I began small grocery that have finally grown in to a retail shop for the last five years. I am a christian by religion and I teach my kids how to grow and walk in the fear of the lord.
i sell home supplies like branded food vegetables and other retail shop accessories that are useful to the people living in my area. I buy on whole sale and sell them at retailled price. the business is good for you have to walk a long distance for you to get a nother shop. I sell my goods at a cheaper price and tha't;s why i have more customers. to some poor people i give them on credits and they faith fully pay during the a greed time.
So if supported with a loan then my area will develop properly thanks even as you prepare to fund my loan
