About Me
I am Anne Wairimu , a mother and a wife. I live in a village area called Game, approximately 35 km from the central business district of the town of Nakuru. The village borders Lake Nakuru National park, and with no doubts that’s why the region is named so. All my three kids are in school doing their studies and I am a business woman in this village of Game. I saw the business of selling various sorts of ‘foreign’ cereals as appropriate here and profitable too. By foreign I mean cereals that are not grown in this vicinity. They include peas, rice, French beans, sorghum, millet and such. What I have been getting from the business has been the upkeep for my family.
My Business
Challenges are part of life. I cant lack several, and that is applying for the loan. Cereals are fast selling commodities and failure of the seller like me to cope with the pace of demand, that can be quite devastating . I am facing this challenge. This is being caused by the fact that my financial ability to add more stock in the business has not be adequate. I would also like to bring ease in transporting the same from my suppliers to my business premises and to my loyal customers who buy in big loads. I had been troubled by the remedy to this but I heard about Zidisha Organization loan lending. I therefore table my quest to my able loan lenders.
Loan Proposal
With 8,227 loan, I will add a small amount like Kshs 800 to have about 9,000 so that I am able to buy two more 90kgs bags of beans and sorghum that are currently in shortage. Each bag costs about Kshs 4,500 in the market but prices change often. With your help I am sure I will be able to expand my business to serve more customers this year. Thank you in advance.
