About Me

I am Agnes, a business woman based in Mombasa Kenya. I am a mother of three children who are all in school. I am married and my husband helps me to run the family budget and also to secure our financial future.

I came to Mombasa from my hometown Thika many years ago. I was employed as a teacher but I later quit to venture into business because this is where I felt I belong. I am also an evangelist and I minister in churches around this region on Sundays.

I am also counselor and I attend to people with various needs when time allows. I believe in encouraging and guiding people to lead better lives and I do everything within my means to make this happen.

My Business

When I quit my job, I started to sell new clothes. I source them from big wholesale store both in Kenya and occasionally across the borders in the neighboring countries. I started small and I would take my goods to where my clients were especially in schools where I was already known.

This has continued to date but my business has grown quite a lot and I now have my own stall. I have also included selling shoes and this is doing quite well.

In spite of this relative success, challenges still abound and key among them is lack of affordable credit and this is the reason I have joined Zidisha. My average net income (after paying rent and licenses) is about USD 300 per month. I am hoping to expand the business by adding more stock and hopefully this will translate into more sales and hence more profit.

Loan Proposal

My business has done well in the last two months. I want to use this momentum to start this new year with more stock which will attract more buyers to my store. I will use the entire amount to buy an assortment of ladies clothes from people who sell them at a wholesale price.

Most of the clothes I sell come from far east - Turkey, India and Singapore. This new stock will be the largest I have ever bought and I am optimistic that my sales will go up.
