About Me
My name is Samantha, and I was born in Kitui County of Eastern Kenya. I am the first born in a family of six members. My father is a policeman working for Kenya Police Service and my mother is a farmer.
I went to primary school and later joined secondary school for my high school education. I then got a clerical job for a company dealing with food processing.
I later relocated to Mombasa where I got a job dealing with music production. I worked there for two years and then decided to leave and started my own business.
I am a hardworking person and a go-getter who believes in accomplishing what I set out to do.
My Business
After working in the music production business for two years, I felt that I had gained enough experience and decided to open my own business, which I have been running for the last two years.
I have overcome the initial challenges and I am now well-rooted in this field. My work mainly deals with mass production of CDs and DVDs for various local artists and selling the same. The business has a lot of competition, but I am getting a fair share of of the market. I aspire to take my business to the next level and I would like to take advantage of this opening through Zidisha to realize this dream.
Loan Proposal
As mentioned in my earlier posts, my business took a dip a few months ago. This impacted negatively on my growth trajectory and the business now needs financing to take it back to where it was before.
I need money to stock more music as we head to the festive season, when most people tend to buy more music videos to watch with their families. For this reason, I will use the entire amount to buy a new stock of assorted music videos, which I know will do well during this period.
Thank you and God bless you all.
