About Me

I was born 30 years a go at a village in Vihiga County, western province, Kenya; married with one daughter. I grew up with an ambition to become an entrepreneur since employment opportunities are very rare to find. I schooled in the same county for primary and High schools respectively before joining a Teacher Training College where I trained as a primary School teacher and graduated successfully in 2010.

My Business

since 2010, I struggled to look for a job but I was not pleased since what I was paid could not sustain me and my family. I put in mind that our background was full of poverty and this is what was in my mind the challenge of overcoming this sickness of poverty to raise a family well off through business. In 2013, I began a small business of making soap and selling second hand clothes. I thank God because my business sustains me and my family. I earn between 900-1200Kes a day.

Loan Proposal

If I get the 50 Dollars, I will in fact use all of them to buy the chemicals which are currently out of stock and also increase the production of the day. I want to increase my sales by at least 50% since this is a festive season where people wash nearly everyday.This will be triggered by the fact that Children are on holiday. So kindly help me achieve my goal through this venture.Thank you.

    My soap making machine got a fault which am trying to repair. It will take a little longer before I finally gain full control of my repayment. Kindly allow me to make the above installments but in due course, I promise to repay all my due installments on time. Currently am struggling to manually make the soap which I sell and use the same profits to add some material and food in the house. Actually the rate of production is too low, unlike the machine, I mange only 4 bars and 5 ltrs a day something which brings low returns at the end.
