About Me

I live in Kiptangwanyi shopping centre which is about 41km from Nakuru town. I live in my own plot where my business is, plot number 36. I am married with two children. all of them are in school. my husband is not formally employed, and this resulted in so much financial constraints to sustain the family. It is to this end that I and my husband decided to start a business where we could rely on to earn our daily needs. we decided to start a bread depot and this we did in the year 2006. the business entails selling of bread and other wheat products. the business picked up very well and we became bread distributors in this zone. I supply loaves of bread to several shopping centres such as Mitimingi, munanda, kiambogo, Tangitano and Mugaa. Currently I am saving my earnings in order that I will be able to purchase a motorcycle that I will be using in distributing the loaves of bread.

My Business

My business entails the services of distributing loaves of bread in this zone. bread and wheat products is a very common product that is consumed within this region of Kiptangwanyi. this became a very important opportunity for me to supply the commodity. the main challenges that I face in this business is poor roads especially during the rainy season. high transport costs as a result of high costs of crude oil.

Loan Proposal

I will add the money that I will be given by Zidisha to some savings that I have and purchase a motorcylcle that will be used in supplying loaves of bread to the places that I distribute the loaves. The people that assist me in distributing the loaves use bicycles to transport the loaves and this takes time and is also tiresome. This is the reason I would like to improve the means of reaching my customers easily. It will also help in opening new places that bicycles do no reach due to poor roads.
