Am matilda Masika Ngala, a resident of mtwapa and a business lady in mtwapa. Am a single lady living with my parents here in mtwapa. Am a primary school lever having done my KCPE Examination in 2007, i did not get the chance of joining to a secondary school because of my family's financial status.After my primary education i went to a tailoring course which i trained at a tailoring shop here in mtwapa. This place really had the best and qualified personnel and i really acquired the best knowledge i needed. After this i was employed at that shop where i worked for two years before starting my own.with the saving i had from my salary i managed to buy my own sewing machine which has been helping me so far.With the experience i got from my previous employee am so happy that my customers are satisfied with the services that i provide.The services i provide at my tailor shop are like designing of different types of wears both lady's and gent's wears. i also have few customers for school uniforms from nearby private schools. With the profit i ge i buy food for my family, despite being single i have a role to play in my family since am the elder and only working person in my family so i have to support my parents in family needs. i also pay school fees for my brother who is in secondary school in form four. i also pay rent at the shop as i shifted my tailor shop from my home in search of good business site.I also save the remaining amount in my account
Am a tailor by profession having done this type of business for almost four years now.I do this business in mtwapa area. In this business i repair worn out cloths, design new cloths as well. i also have some schools whom i design school uniforms for them. I get the raw materials from dealers and some time i buy the materials from a neighboring country, Tanzania.Most people like the Tanzania materials because they are the latest design and fashionable.This business has been so wonderful to me as i make a profit in this business.risks in this business are like late payments, and othe times fluctuation of prices in the raw materials. In this business i make a monthly income of ksh 20,000 per month. With this amount i use ksh 5,000 paying school fees, ksh 2,000 paying rent at the shop,ksh 5,000 is used in buying food for the family. so i save ksh 8,000 per month.With this amount i can repay my zidisha loan with out any problems. As a youth i want to create employment to my fellow youths. in this i want to expand this business to a higher level so that i can employ others.
I intend to constructively use this loan to add stock to my clothing business. My business is doing do well ad my customer base is grown.
I believe that i will be able to maintain my repayment record as it is and be able to take bigger loans and help my business grow more and more.
