About Me

I am Mr. Samwel Nyangi. I am a building technician by profession and my main professional duties include supervision of buildings on construction sites.
I hail from Rongo Village, Homa Bay County in Nyanza region of Kenya. The main economic activity in Rongo is fishing at Lake Victoria. Lake Victoria is the second largest freshwater lake in the world, hence a main tourist attraction in Kenya. Other tourist attraction sites in my area include Ruma National Park bordering Lake Victoria. The Luo community is well known for a rich cultural heritage not limited to traditional songs, dances, dressing,rituals, etc. Nyanza region hence poses as a strong attraction destination for tourists.

My Business

I identified a gap in the building and construction sector especially in the supply of building materials and inputs. Hence, I got into the business of making and supplying man made bricks which are more cost effective and affordable compared to other bricks naturally mined and supplied by big firms. My business targets middle and low income earners who can hardly afford to buy bricks from big firms. My business offers customized solutions to the customers.

My business has a cash flow of $1500 per month with the major revenue coming from sales of man made bricks and supply of labour. I plan to repay the loan using proceeds from my business.

Project Proposal

The fund wl be used to make more block for the new a fordable house by the government I e been given sub contract of supplying over 10,000 pcs of hollow blocks,

    Dear lenders,
    First am a very grateful man, and more very sorry for taking long to repay my loan which has been overdue as a result corona pandemic, which affected the business industry as well as the economy of the country.

    apparently, I got some payments from my clients who were also affected and they managed to pay me long overdue supplies. which has enabled me to offset my outstanding loan.
    Currently, I want to stock up my yard with enough raw materials e.g sand quarry dust for the blocks as well as interlocking bricks, as well manpower/staff to enable me to meet the target of new orders I have started receiving as of now.
    previously my business had been getting a good profit based on the local orders used to get and committed to supplying by 30 to 40% increments. which had managed to take my kids to school pay my staff overdue and invest some in land leasing for cash crops like sugarcane. etc. this has and
    will enable me to generate future a stable income from both sides of the business.
