About Me

My names are Ann Waweru Iam married and blessed with four kids.I own a business at a place called Rongai within Nakuru district.Iam a GOD fearing woman.IAM AN ENTERPRISING LADY WHO ENGAGES NOT ONLY IN FARMING BUT ALSO IN BUSINESS.IAM AN ADHERENTHURCH MEMBER OF THE FULL GOSPEL CHURCHE S OF KENYA.IAM MARRIED TO ONE HUSBAND MAIGWA WHOM I LOVE VERY MUCH. IAM GOING TO HEAVEN BY FAITH.i schooled in miteta primary school in laikipia west county before i proceeded to njorua high school for my o level. Iam blessed with 4 kids.

My Business

I own a warehouse which I use to buy and sell cereals .Many of my customers come from within Rift valley province and on average my profits daily are KSH I5OO.My main challenges are price fructuations especially due to overproduction of the cereals in the area.There is also insecurity and uncertainity especially during elections eg referendums. My customers prefer my store because my prices are generally low compared with others .I also stock avariety of goods such as millet, sorghum rice and beans .given additional funding Iam intending to buy a posho mill to grind grains so that I can be selling flour.

Loan Proposal

I intend to buy a pickup worth 250000.This will help me transport cereals to the market easily .I intend to be transporting the cereals directly to Cereals Board at Nakuru where I can fetch better prices.I intend as well to be buying other trade goods such as rice,empty bags and be stocking them in my warehouse.Since the funds from zidisha is not enough I plan to sell 50 bags of maize and 10 bags of beans I had kept awaiting better prices in future.
