About Me

I am Gertrude Joji, born in Nakuru County at Kenlands Estate. My parents still lives at the same estate where I was born. I am a form 4 school leaver and also a business lady in Nakuru. I make and sale African jewelry. I am still single not yet married. I was born in 1994 on November 2nd.

My passion is for business and I am praying and hoping that my small business will pick up quick as I look for more capital because I see there is a lot of demand of African jewelry.

I started my business 6 months ago and I started to make a few jewelries while selling to friends within my home, and later I decided to expand it because I felt it has been liked by so many people. I even get in orders and I deliver in time needed as agreed.

I am so very passionate about my work or business I do, and I want to be one of the best and prominent business owners in Nakuru town.

My Business

I started my business 6 months ago and I started to make a few pieces of jewelry while selling to friends within my home, and later I decided to expand it because I felt they have been liked by so many people. When I started my business, I never knew how it was going to help many, but through small business I do.

Now the main challenge I face is my stock is down, especially on getting beads and other threads and materials which I need to boost my business. That's why I decided to join Zidisha to help me fulfill my life's vision and passion.

My total revenue a month is 15,000ksh, which covers the total expenditures. My profit ranges between 6,500ksh and 7,000ksh monthly, which I feel is a nice profit. I believe upon adding more stock I will attract more customers within and without. I am planning to talk to friends to see if I can even import some of my work outside Kenya.

I do not have a specific place that I sell from, but I make them from the house. I do all the bead work from the house, then I distribute to the person who ordered them. The loan I am asking for will help me meet this need and, through my income revenue from my business, I will be able to pay back in due time as needed. I therefore ask for the support of lenders to meet my dream and make it come true.

Loan Proposal

I am thankful for all the loans (of which this is my third) since you all started to lend me. I am requesting another loan, which will be used to purchase beads, which will cost $120, and also two dozen threads costing $100. Also I will purchase hooks, about 300 piece, which will cost $50, and the rest I will use for advertisement, which will cost $200, inclusive of VAT and license for the county council.

    I called Getrude but unfortunately her phone was switched off. I tried calling her community leader, family and neighbours and did not manage to get any of them.

    Hallo Zidisha Staff and lenders, today I called Getrude and I was unable to reach her through her phone.

    I was however able to reach out to her Community Leader a Mr Makongo who was very helpful.

    He informed me that Getrude's father died recently and that could be the reason for her delayed repayment.

    He went on to tell me that he will talk to her at the nearest opportunity so that she can continue with her loan repayment.
