About Me
I am Jacinta kibe born in mangu location. I am forty four years old mother blessed with three kids a boy and two girls, I currently live in Dandora estate in Nairobi county. I work at dandora catholic parish which is the biggest catholic church in Dandora estate, besides working in church I operate a hotel at dandora bus station, I opened this hotel job June 2013. I sell all kinds of food, I rely mostly in selling pork meat which is fast moving and which provides a good returns compared to other foods. I normally get the supply from kiamaiko area, this is a place where is the slaughtering house centre in Nairobi . I get the pork meat very early in the morning and later leave it at my hotel where the rest of work are done by my son who is a chef, I later report to church to do cleaning work and other duties assigned by the priests upto 4p.m, after doing my assignments am left with ample time and instead I go to hotel to help my son attending customers I get the pork meat at 280 shillings per k
My Business
I operate a hotel business in Dandora estate, my hotels name is Pork city its located at dandora main stage. I started this business June last year after my husband got into a comma for one months, to sustain him and my three children I had to look for other source of income for his medication and also income to cater for our own needs. From the little savings we had in our joint account with my husband I invested in this small hotel, which has really improved our lives. Am now always in a good position to pay my son a good salary and other employees and also offer a good support to my two other kids who are in school. I normally get the pork supply from kiamiko area at a good wholesale price very early in the morning, as the saying says the early bird catches the worm, I get the best pork at that time. The challenges from this job is that the pork supply may be too low and therefore its hard to meet my demand. Other major challenge as I said earlier is that some religions don’t allow consump
Loan Proposal
Am very happy and greatful zidisha community for this golden opportunity you have given me. Am humbly requesting for a loan so as to finance my projects, in the amount you will fund me i will use 50% of the loan to invest in pork meat. I believe that this investment will reward me greatly as its hard for me to lack enough customers to consume the ready cooked and raw pork, the other 40% of the amount i will use it purchase beverages such as take away sodas and mineral water. Mineral water will be a fast moving product as the place is highly populated.,and alot of people would prefer treated mineral water as it is more safer than tap water. The rest of the loan will play part as petty cash in the hotel, With this investment i believe i will gain handsum profit and i will be in a good position to re-pay the loan in time. Thanks alot my lenders as you fund my project!!!..
