Am linet liavula,43 yeas,am a single mother of 3 children and 3 grand children,i was educated up to class eight(8) and i droped out due to luck of school fees because in our land and caluture they believe that education is for a boy child and a girl child is to get married and bring wealth through dowry.
when i grew up i was given to a man for marriage by force and we had 3 children and after that he started beating and torchering me every day and i decided to run away from him and come to Mombasa
life was hard working casual work and getting little for servivel to feed my children until one day a friend of mine introduce me to doing small business in the market and gave me capital to start the business.i started selling vegetables and fruits in the market and later i left market and started selling from home to ladies around and that is what helped until all my children finished education and got married.
am a born again christian and am in church whenever i have time,i teach Sunday school and visit orphanage to.
i do sale all types of vegetables and fruits,i buy them from the big market at a wholesale price,transport them to my work place and sale them to people at a retail price.
i choose to do this business because its on demand and its consumed daily whether the economy is high or low.
its the kind of business that you can start with any little capital and it has no stress or much revenue or costs
i don't pay any revenue to operate it apart from transport costs
since all my children are married,i pay my house rent with the profit,invest back in the business and take care of myself.
when i get this loan and my business grow,i want to ADAPT SOME 3 ORPHANS and stay with them since all my children are away
that is my plan
If i get the money,
i will add mangoes 10 dollars
oranges 10 dollars
onions,cabbages,green papers,greens 50 dollars
Irish potatoes 1 bag 20 dollars
food spices 10 dollars
when i add this stock,my profit will rise so much and my business will grow so fast,it might increase to 3000 shillings per month
