My name is Jared Were. Born in Nyanza region of Kenya but later moved to Mombasa - a coastal town in Kenya. I come from a family of 5 - my two parents and one brother and 2 sisters.
I went to school up to secondary school level and I have also done some computer training. I am hard working and honest person and I always work hard to achieve my goals regardless of the odds. These qualities have brought me to where I am but I am still aiming to go higher and higher.
I am also in group activities and I like mobilizing to do various activities like cleaning our streets and caring for environment. I also like to participate in church activities like counseling the youths and young adults.

I run a hardware store in Mombasa town. I mostly specialize in selling plumbing materials to contractors. I deal with a wide range of plumbing materials such as pipes, taps, and bath tubs. I ventured into this area due to their high demand in this area which is currently undergoing a construction boom.
Given credit, I will be able to add more stock especially indoor taps which are currently in high demand. I will be able to serve my clients continuously without interruptions when my stock runs out. One such tap costs $4 and with a $150 loan, I will be able to buy 1dozen of the same. which will last me for one month. My business generates income on daily basis and that is why I have decided to make high weekly payments because it is within my ability.
