Loan to buy a printer

Entrepreneur

About Me

My name is Peris Wanjiku Mburu, a last born in a family of 5. I am married to Zack Mengo 2 years ago. I was born in Central region of Kenya where I went to school for my primary and secondary education. I later enrolled for a computer course where I learned standard computer packages.
I was later employed in a music shop in Mombasa town where I was an attendant selling music in form of audio cassettes, cds and dvds. Through savings and hard work, I managed to open my own music shop last year. The business is quite profitable since I use the experience that I gained from my previous job to run it. I am also well connected in the field of music and this makes it rather easy for me to run the business.

My Business

About a year ago, and with credit from Zidisha, I changed my business from music production to farming. This change was informed by the stiff competition in the music industry which made it difficult to make a reasonable income.

This drastic change has paid off and I am now a supplier of pig products in my town. I am currently keeping 48 pigs which I sell to meat processors after every six months. My average net income per month is USD 400 and the business is growing fast and I hope to increase this income in the coming months.

Loan Proposal

I am glad I managed to clear my loan as scheduled. I injected all the money I got into my business by buying a television set that I needed for my business. The TV set brought a lot of satisfaction to my clients because I am now able to test the materials I sell before buying them. This gives them confidence and it has resulted into more sales volumes for my business. For this reason, I will forever be grateful to Zidisha family.

My business had not registered any significant growth for a long time but this one investment changed all that. I have now caught the growth bug and I feel I want to go to the next step. My project this time is printer for printing my artwork and – mostly CD covers and inlays. However, such a printer does not come cheap and I am asking for your support once more to make this dream a reality.
