I am 32 years of age born and brought up in Karabondi location Rachuonyo North District Homa Bay County in the Western part of Kenya.I went through Karabondi Primary then to Ngere High School before proceeding to Kenya Medical Training Collage in Kisumu where I obtained a diploma in pharmacy.Due to lack of job opportunities I opened a pharmacy where I treat and also provide prescriptions to those who fell sick. I am a resilient person who believe in handwork , prayers and commitment in anything I do.When I was growing up I realize that most people in the village were unable to afford proper medical care due to lack of money and the long distance to the hospital.I therefore decided to start my own pharmacy shop to be able to assist the less fortunate people in the society who were thirsty for proper medical check up.I have a son of age 7year who always dreams of becoming a surgeon to help me continue to save lives.During my part time I do enjoy swimming and reading inspiring medical books.
My business deals in dispensing viral antibiotic and fungal drugs as well as conducting some minor surgeries.The goods am dealing with are so much demanded since most people do fall sick from bacterial,fungal and viral infections and due to the high level of poverty they cannot be able to afford medication from government hospital and just resort to the nearest pharmacy.For every purchase I MAKE i normally incur a purchase cost of about 110Us dollars of which I normally realize a revenue of 150 Us dollars.I normally use the part of profit I earn to pay school fee of my children,sustain my family and the remaining balance I use to expand my business.
When am advance this credit facility,I would be able to purchase the following ;I would use 25 Us dollars to purchase pain killers like brufen,panadol and Asprin tablets.I would use the remaining 18 us dollars to purchase three packets of Augmentin tablets.This would benefit my business because I would be able to meet the rising demand of antibiotic drugs in the area.I anticipate my profit to increase by 10 Us dollars since because the drugs am planning to purchase has got high demand.Thank you so much for this opportunity.
