About Me

I am Beatrice a single mother of two school going teens.I am a hard working honest lady with an open mind approach to life.I believe we all have potential to improve/better our lives and in the process empower others.....
I was born in the southern part of Kenya,Nyanza province to be exact.I am the first born in a family of six.I had an average childhood.I say average coz although I didn't have all that luxury I managed to get my education without any difficulties.While in high school I lost my mother who was my pillar an this kind of affected me generally.After high school my grades could not allow me join university so the next option was to join tertiary college which never came ti be coz i met this man whose love swept me off my feet so we got married but the marriage did not last,we separated leaving with the burden of providing for my kids.

Although I have a part time job the same does not earn me enough money to meet my family's needs.So I started the business as side hustle when I realised I had difficulties in meeting my family's needs.
Currently I live in the coastal region.what I love about the coast is the culture of the people here not forgetting their food and beautiful beaches.
Just to let you know,we have an organized group which we started as with around twenty ladies.Our main objective is to empower ourselves economically with the aim of encouraging more ladies in decision making.
Under the group we have a traditional dance troupe which we use as an income activity as well as for culture preservation.Through the group we habe managed to open income generating activities for two of our members and we are hoping to do more as God enables us.

My Business

My business deals in general supplies but due to capital constraints am currently able to supply toiletries to hotels but am starting get orders to supply housekeeping items as well kitchen utensil.I chose this kind of business because the goods are readily available and also their prices take long to change which then means the quotations made are safe.At the moment I plough back the profits in order to increase the business working capital but at times use the profits to pay for children's education.

Loan Proposal

I plan to buy five pieces of soft brooms each costing ksh.425 .I will then sell each of them at ksh 625 ans this will make a total profit of ksh.1000 .With an extra ksh.1000 I know I will be able to make another step a head.Just to mention I am also saving to buy my daughter a laptop.She is doing her final year in college so this will come handy as she does her thesis.
