About Me
My name is Irene Musembi and am 26 years old. Am married with two kids and am the bread winner to my family. I was brought up in machakos in eastern Kenya. I went to Mananja primary school and later to Misyani secondary school where I faced lots of problems to pay school feel but I managed to complete. I while in school I used to save money from the little my parents gave me. after high school my parents added me capital and I opened a shop and later a stall where I sell second hand clothes
I realised people in my area used to go very far to do their shopping and I decided to fill that gap. Now I have drawn many customers and my business is doing well. I learnt about ZIDISHA online and I tried to apply a loan, and thank God, I qualified.
My Business
I run a shop and a second hand clothes stall. The shop stocks the items that people mainly use on daily basis. The shop is my major source of income. The profits I make from this business I use for my family upkeep and to grow my business.
Loan Proposal
if am lucky to get the loan, I will use the full amount to buy cooking oil to add on the existing stockI used to stock solid cooking fat but I have learnt that most customers prefer liquid cooking oil which is heart friend. Am going to buy 40 litres if cooking oil which can last for a week. and when the stock is over I will be able to by twice that amount. on cartoon of 10litres cost $100,so three cartons will cost me $300,,thank you in advance
