About Me
Am gibert bukhla, a kenyan citizen who was born in the rift valley province in therepublic of kenya,i lived and grew up in kakamega county in western province during my childhood.I went to school in joyland primary school and i qualified for high school which i attended at st peters mumias high school .It was hard raising my school fees but i still managed to go through my high school by working in peoples farms during the holidays,GODsaw me through anyway. After my high school i moved to kisii county where i trained as a pharmacist, i qualified and started practicing at alocal pharmacy called jacks pharmacy,after two years i started my own pharmacy with my little savings .Kisii land is basically a land of all tribes in kenya it is not just the gusii that live here but all kenya, i love the fact our town is located in hilly terains, i would love my children to grow to be doctors.I love singing during my freetime.
My Business
I deal with human drugs of all kinds from paracetamols,to asprin and all the drugs under the human category.My neighbours need to be healthy at all times and hence the need to buy drugs when they fall ill, i choose this busines because i have apassion for saving lives.My costs are only the shop rent and pharmacists board trading license, the cost of buying drugs and the trading license which averagely totals up to ksh 40000 every month.After deducting this costs iam left withabout ksh 35000, i use the profits to reinvest into the business and my home improvement.
Loan Proposal
Iwill use the loan to buy inventory of medicines used in malaria treatments,the medicines are called coartem and they wil cost me $5 for each packet of 5, i wll buy 50 packets which will cost me $50 .This will enable me to meet the high demand as at this moment since, its the rainy season and malaria is widespread, i will also make good profits from the sales.The rest of the money i will use to pay my zidisha membership fees asit will be automatically deducted from my first loan.My profits will increase by 20%.
