About Me

am a lady aged 26 .having completed a diploma in purchase and supplies from Kenya institute of management in 2010.am looking for a job but also doing my small business to cater for every days living.am combining business with studies as i have started a professional diploma in purchase and supplies in Nairobi but i manage very well and i thank my customers very much.
my parents live in thika and i had to move to kasarani where i live with my sister as i undertake studies and also business.
from my proceeds am able to cater for daily bread and also maintenance and expand my small business.

My Business

my business is home based.initially i got loans from family members my parents and also my brothers and sister. i manage it through calls and social media like Facebook.i do supply pork products from farmers choice and i have several layers back in mang'u village and as at the moment i got a lot of tomatoes i have grown ready to be harvested and am supplying to local markets like kamwangi and Gatukuyu.
i had also reared 200 quail birds before the market was interfered with but that dint make me loose hope.
as i said i mix several activities,through friends am able to buy clothing's and sell to them especially guys i buy socks,boxers ,vest but on order,
combining all this am able to have big profit.

Loan Proposal

the loan will assist me in taking the soil for sampling at KARI so that i be sure of what other things i will add in the green house.to help bring more income, same time am increasing the volume of tomatoes i have planted at the shamba.
the items most wanted for the farming that i have not been able to purchase, this is now the chance to buy.
