About Me

My name is Richard Momanyi. I was born in Kisii county which is in the western part of Kenya. The main occupation there is farming and my parents are small scale farmers. I grew up helping them in the farm and we also used to keep some domestic animals like cows and goats.

I am married and looking forward to starting a family with of two children.

My Business

I do business in the coastal town of Mombasa city where I sell household items in a small shop. I sell items such as cooking oil, maize and wheat flour, sugar etc. I serve people who live in my neighborhood.

I make around $100 per month but I am hoping to increase this amount as I keep expanding the business. This amount will inch upwards due to continued support I am getting from Zidisha.

Project Proposal

I will use the money to increase my stock of food items that I sell in my ration store. I will buy fast moving items such as flour, cooking oil, sugar and milk. I will save money from the discount I will get from buying in bulk.

Thank you.

    I am unable to raise more than this amount for now due to low business sales. I hope to change this as soon as the situation changes.

    Thank you very much for the funding. I'll use the money to increase the much needed stock. This will in turn increase my daily sales.

    I can only afford to pay this figure for now. I hope to increase it to a higher amount soon once the business improves.

    Thank you to all who funded my project. This money will go a long way in supporting my business which needed such cash injection. I am sure that this money will now stabilize my business.
