My name is Mercy chepkoech, im happily-married lady wed to a veterinary officer. and live in eldoret and are blessed with three children. after secondary schhool i did not manage to join college therefore i worked in the construction industry for quite some time. i mastered the industry well and proved to perform better in a field dominated by men. I makes bricks that i sells to people who are building their houses.
During my free time i love reading
My business is that of making bricks and selling them to people building. I enjoy my business since the materials i need are locally available. My clients like the quality of my products and have referred their friends to me as clients. i enjoy my job since i makes good income that supports my family.
My challenge is paying for labor for the bricks, since i always need enough labor in brick making.
with the loan i will construct a second larger brick shade and hire 5 labourers to assist me with work. This will cost me about $550. Brick shade help in protecting the bricks from bad weather and the increased manpower of laborers will make my work to be fast thus making a lot of bricks for sale.
With these im guaranteed increased income which will improve my livelihood.
