About Me

My name is Kelvin Kiplah, i was brought up in a humble background at Nakuru Sachanguan village went to Mosonei primary ,longisa high school then later after working as an untrained teacher and as a small scale farmer and was able to raise fees to go to college.
After College i couldn't get a job and with the help of my parents i raised some capital and ventured into a posho mill business

My Business

My business is located in Kaptembwo Nakuru town,Kenya.I started operating my posho mill in the year 2013.I started my business with a capital of Ksh25,000.My business deals with grinding maize and millet and i sell it in grade 1 and 2. The business is licensed and issued with a single business permit(annual license) and it is located strategically close to my customers.In a day i can serve more than 100 different customers because maize floor is a staple food in Nakuru.
In a clean month i can make a net sales of ksh.40,000.After i add more stock of ksh.20,000,pay my business permit of ksh.360,pay my home rent and electricity bill.I am left with a clean Ksh.6,490,being a net profit.
In a way of the zidisha microfinance supporting my business,i will be able to make good sales and my profits will increase this will sustain my family living standards and also i will move to a permanent building and expand my business.Thank you Zidisha team

Loan Proposal

Given the first loan i will use it to restock more goods in my posho mill by including grinding of millet flour and sorghum floor in addition of the maize flours. Furthermore i will moe to a larger room to accomodate te large number of my customers who increae daily. With this i will able to make a daily profit of USD 40 - USD 60.
Thanks to Zidisha
