My name is Alice Wanjiru kamau married and now with one baby boy, i schooled at Gikodi primary school then proceeded to Nginda Secondary school,I dint have the chance to join colled cause of financial difficalties i started a small howking business(bananas) i now have started a more decent job(boutique).I live in Mazeras in Kilifi county,i love socializing with people that i know and also with those i don'nt know sharing developing ideas in business.I have a boutique business that i started last year,Through this business i have managed to pay off some bills and also support my family like paying off school fees for my little sister who is in form two.
After High school i started a small hawking business that gave me some small savings, i joined a microfinance and after months of savings i was able borrow a loan of twenty thousands approximetly usd 240. I was now able to start a botique and managed to payback the loan,due to high intrest rates i left and concentrated on my profits to help expand my business,After learning about Zidisha's low intrest rates from John, i now wish to apply a loan and chip in the money to my shop to expand it even more.We don't own a house but have a rental house both for the business and where i live.Most of my customers are from the EPZ(export processing zone) that has about 4000 workers majority of them being women(roughly 3000).
fist i will buy fabrics which i will sell as garments which is worthy 86.51usdolarsand also invest a sewing machine which will help in cutting fabrics to garment which is worthy 54.07us dollars finally i will also add some curtains since they are in high demand in the area when selling fabrics as garments i will gain a lot since i will be able to sell even to those small upcoming tailors in these i expect my profit to increase at a higher percent God willing.
