My name is Sarah Rukia, am married with three children lives at Athi-River Makadara estate.i am a business woman who is oriented and very hardworking. i own a small shop at makadara estate which involves all types of goodies that i sell which makes my customer to want more of them that includes larger quantity of goods.
the business that i have has catered for my family and children which i have managed to pay for them school fees. however in this business there is a lot of competition and it has made my business to drop due to lack of enough stocks in my shop.
during this frustration of finding loans from other sources, a friend came along and introduced me to your organization that is Zidisha, it lends loans to people like us who have businesses to improve them.
kindly i would like you to assist me in loaning my business to be able to increase my business and buy more stock to improve.
if granted the loan i will appreciate as it will impact my life.
the business of selling goods and services in a shop is very competitive thus i have decided that i need to add more stocks.
In my shop the things needed to be bought are sugar , beans, maize, rice this is because these are the fast moving items in the shop.
i would really need to buy large quantities of items that is 100kgs - 1000kgs, to make my customers to come frequently.
To keep the loan run smoothly i do keep records of the monthly income , with approximation the value is kshs.10,000 - kshs20,000 monthly.
If granted the loan i will be able to increase my products and sales and perhaps my income will increase gradually.
I really appreciate Zidisha Organization for approving the loan. This is a very competitive area and considering the amount of loan given, it is not enough to cater for the products as indicated earlier. i will be able to utilise the loan given by adding some stocks and cutting down the large quantities.i will have to buy small quantities of goods such as Rice, Beans,Maize,sanitary towels, sugar, milk among others.Instead of buying 1000kgs i will cut them to 50kgs so that the loan be able to buy more.
i really appreciate the opportunity given to be able to manage my products.
