About Me

My name is Ken Symon Muriuki, a 29 year old from Kenya. I am a graduate in design, but in this country, education doesn't seem to help out, so I decided to start up a business of my own. I have a general stores shop, where I sell almost everything, from cereals, to household goods. It is picking up very well and hope to expand it with time.

My Business

I started up a retail general stores shop, where I sell goods varying from cereals, to household items such as flour, sugar, rice. Aside, I have an M-Pesa service, which generally is mobile money, offering clients withdrawal and deposit services through their phones. The business is now three years old and has picked very well. My wish is to expand it further so that I can offer wholesale products.

Project Proposal

I have decided to start up a gym and fitness at my town of residence since there's none in the area. I've already spotted a place and begun renovations. Gym equipment are however a bit expensive and I've only procured about 40% of the needed equipment, and I'm urging for your help to raise funds to procure the rest. Once the gym is up and running, I'm sure of raising enough funds to pay up on time

    Thank you so much members for fully funding my project. With this funding, I'll be able to add half a bail each of baking and maize flour and half a sack of sugar which will have boosted my shop by a margin. I also promise to repay and fund other members effectively. Thank you once again.

    Despite going through some tough economic times leading to a negative impact in my business, I've managed to bounce back with the loan that you lent me. I paid my employees and looking forward to improve sales by adding more stock and enhancing quality of services. Your continued support will help me achieve all this

    I received an unexpected loss after my store was broken into. I've been trying to follow it up with the authorities to no avail. I'll start repayments as soon as possible

    hello lenders. I unfortunately didn't get fully funded as I had hoped. I however used the little I received to purchase some stationery materials for my office that am planning on renting. Thanks
