About Me

Malkia Juma Kalume. I am a christian. I have four children and I am a widow. All the children are in school. The first born is in class eight, the second in class seven, third, class five and fourth class two. I am living in my own house, near KEMRI (Kenya Medical Research Institute). I love my family.

My Business

I have four businesses: small caffe and green groser, salon and mitumba. I am getting customers from KEMRI, people eating at lunchtime. I wish to expand the caffe so I can serve more customers. Now have just one inside table and one outside. My neighbors buy from the green groser. I wish to also add furniture to the salon. I started my businesses in 2008. Thanks

Loan Proposal

I will use the loan to buy furniture and add sits to accommodate more customers in the cafe as customers keep waiting for each other to finish. I will add my kitchen utensils and paint the wall of my cafe with new colors for more attraction.my cafe is just next to the Kenya medical research foundation and the doctors will be comfortable to sit on plastic and modern chairs.

Hello Malkia,

I hope your situation has improved and your child's schooling is going well. Are you able to start repaying? Once you've repaid the whole loan, you will be able to ask for another one, and I will be able to reuse the money I've lent for other people who need it as well. Thank you very much,

Kirsten Shute

Hi, everyone I am very sorry to inform you that I will not be in a position to repay this loan because I am much committed to pay school fees for my daughter who was joining form one. earlier there was a well wisher who has been supporting my child with school fees since primary level but recently he declined the support and I was forced to pay the school fees on my own.But I am vet steady to make sure that I repay this loan without struggle.Thank you so much.

  Please don't worry, I don't mind the delay - education is very important, and after the school fees are paid you can think about other things. Best wishes,
  Kirsten
