About Me

self reserved. I can say my life has really been a struggle where nearly three quarters of my life have survived almost all by my own. I think i can still credit a little help form family who have also been really supportive. I hope for the best as i wind up my university studies and i know am in for more achievements. What i dislike more is ignorance and procastination. My hobby mostly includes writing .I really love stories of all kinds and thus use my free time writing .

My Business

I sell ice ,ice-cream and fruits -Grocery. Have taken advantage of the sunny days experienced i Nairobi. Am planning to expand my business by getting my small cousin to sell to other schools. My costs are about 1500 where i end up making profits twice my sales and even more. I use my profits by investing more n the ice business and still get to save more for my part time studies.have expanded my business to also college students near my area and I can say it was a bold move.

Loan Proposal

I will use the loan for my ice and ice-cream business which am currently doing. The money required for the supplies costs 30dollars which will constitute : Sugar, cream, icing, flavors, wrapping bags and some other small requirements. I look forward to profits of 15dollars. The money will play a bigger role where i also plan to clear my tuition fees . I also plan to expand my business to a college near me after much consultation with friends and family.

    Hi lenders. I highly appreciate of your support which has positively impacted my life and of those close to me. I used the loan to better my ice and ice-cream business. My earnings and profits have also increased due to your support. I was able to complete my tuition fees which was a hurdle. Some of interesting things about my neighborhood is availability of children social amenities centers like children centers which has highly favored my business.
