About Me

my name is Jackline Wanjiru Maina,from Mwariki,Kenya in the larger East-African Continent.I ama single mother of one girl by the name Joy Wangari.She is in Baby class in the neighboring school.
I joined school from the year 1990 to 1999 in Kimathi Primary school and did my final primary examinations in the same year(1999).I later joined Afraha Secondary School in the 2000 to 2003.After attaining a mean score of C+ in my final K.C.S.E examinations.Since the examinations results were out by the start of 2004,,my parents opted to take me to the Tracom College in which i attained Sales & Marketing Certificate in the year 2005.
After my college life,i later started looking for an employment within the city and in the year 2006,i was lucky to get one at Monalisa Boutique for the Sales position and also taking the daily records of the stock .Since i was employed through a contract basis,my term lapsed in the year 2008,having served the company for two years only.In the year December,2008,i received a call from the Human Resource Manager of Ukwala Supermarket in Kisumu and told me that i was selected for a vacancy in the Supermarket at a Sales assistant position.I joined and worked with the company until i got tired for being employed in the year 2011.Since i was saving every month,I had enough money to start my own business,and on November,2011,i started my own business with small capital i had upto today.

My Business

Since operating my own business was a passion to my future life,late 2011,November,i had opened my own business which was selling children's clothes and shoes.I chose this business because children are being born everyday and it is always a flow of demand and
sales I get the goods from the Kenyan capital Nairobi,since i get them at a cheaper prices compared to buying the goods locally.By buying in large quantities sometimes it becomes a challenge whereby i buy the goods in bulk and most of the customers also pays through installments,which makes my business not to be making enough sales at the end of the month which makes me hard to add more stock because of lot of money is usually held by my customers.
I know that through your help in funding my business,i will overcome all this challenges and i will be able to be buying goods oftenly and at a reasonable/distributors prices and in bulky so as to accommodate new clients who always come for the services in my store.I will also be able to buy other products like men's wear and men leather shoes.Thank you.

Loan Proposal
