About Me

This is George Muthoka born and raised in Kenya, East Africa. I am schooled to higher education level currently pursuing a master degree in project planning and management.

I have worked as a teacher in my early working career and as a social worker with various NGOs. Currently I do private businesses.

I am a family man with one wife and 4 Children.

My Business

I do various income generating activities

1. I am a consultant in management and capacity building field. Here I advertise my services and apply for consultation opportunities within and beyond Kenya

2. I do farming, I own land that I use to cultivate vegetables and keep livestock for the market.

3. I do supplies business in gypsum - a raw material used in production of cement, plaster powder, chalk, ceiling boards etc.

4. I am naturing a young business in construction as a contractor and property management.

I incur costs in material purchase, loading, transportation and legal fees. In average I make an income of kshs 200,000/= per month which I use for home supplies, education fees for my children and other disadvantaged children and support to my elderly parents as well as capital investments

Project Proposal

With this facility I will pay my gypsum supplier and transport to the user company. A ton of gypsum is going at KES 1,100 and transported at KES 1,300 thus a total of KES 2,400. A 30 ton truck of gypsum would cost KES 72,000. This Loan will therefore pay for a full truck.
Each ton makes KES 400 at the factory thus making a total of KES 15,000 which can be done four times within the facility period.
Once ploughed back into the business this facility will help grow the capital base and consequently profit

    I have experienced delay in payment of my supplies but nothing out of hand

    Thank you so so much for making my project come true. I'll pay for my gypsum supply which will yield a profit that will pay for home consumables and school fees

    With the previous facility I paid my gypsum suppliers. A ton of gypsum went for KES 1,100 and transported at KES 1,300 thus a total of KES 2,400. A 30 ton truck of gypsum cost KES 72,000. This cash therefore paid for a full truck.
    Each ton made KES 400 at the factory thus making a total of KES 15,000 which in esch truck and I did four times within the facility period. This helped me take care of some home expenses such as food purchase and school fees payment

    Than you so so much my lenders for making my project possible, I don't take it for granted! With this facility I will pay my Gypsum supplier and part of it will pay transport form quarry to the factory. At the end I'll realize some margin that will benefits my family in paying for some basics such as school fees

    So far am going on well having boosted my supplies and paid halfway the facility. I expect to meet my target at the end of the financing period

  • George    Oct 26, 2021

    A big thank you to my lenders, this will tremendously increase my supply business. I will pay for an additional truck inclusive of transport and yield a profit of at least a quarter of the funded amount by the end of the loan period.
