About Me

My name is Naomi Wanjiru Wanjohi. I come from Bahati centre, Nakuru County where I reside. Bahati is approximately 28 Km from Nakuru Town on your way to Nyahururu at a stage called Bahati. You branch on your right to a place known as kandutura and ask Mama Kuria’s home. I am married and a business lady who deals with selling of potatoes and cereals in the market on daily basis.

My Business

I buy 10 bags of maize, 10 bags of beans, 200kgs of rice and 12 bags of potatoes per month. One bag of maize costs 2500 shillings, one bag of beans costs 4000 and 50 kgs of rice costs kshs 5000. One bag of potatoes costs kshs. 1200.the total purchases costs me approximately 50,000 per maize, 48,000 in beans 20,000 in rice and 14,400 in potatoes. I later sell them to customers to make a profit of 2500 in maize, 2,000 in beans, 1500 in rice i.e cereals gives a total of 6,000 per month and 5,000 in potatoes. In total I get approximately kshs 11,000 per month.

Loan Proposal

If the amount funded to me is disbursed, i will use it to expand my business such that i will be able to buy more stock during this harvesting season of most of the cereals at a lost price and i will sell it at a high price during the festive season. i would also buy potatoes for sale in large bulk.If the amount funded to me is disbursed, i will use it to expand my business such that i will be able to buy more stock during this harvesting season of most of the cereals at a lost price and i will sell it at a high price during the festive season. i would also buy potatoes for sale in large bulk.

    Dear lenders,

    i spoke today with the local church pastor who had signed a recommendation in support of Ms. Wanjohi's application to join Zidisha. He was not certain why Ms. Wanjohi has missed recent repayments, but did mention that Ms. Wanjohi had given birth to a baby two weeks ago. He promised to contact her and let us know her situation. We will share further news as it becomes available.

    Best,

    Julia Kurnia
    Director, Zidisha
