About Me

I am Ruth Nangila, born in Bungoma but later my father was transfered to Nakuru county where we started a new life. I completed my school here and started doing farming and I later started my business of selling second hand clothes, shoes and curtains. The business is still young and am working hard to see it succeed into a large business.
A part from my business am also active member in my church where I serve as the secretary in church youth, I do also engage in charity by giving back to the community in the best way that I can.

My Business

My business operates from family premises where I have partitioned and live behind. This is meant to reduce cost of operation. I buy secondhand clothes in wholesale and sell at a profit. the profit i make is taken back to grow my business. currently I have a small stock and with the old sewing machine I have, I want to have it repaired so that I can also offer tailoring services.
This business has changed my life to the better since now i can comfortably take care of my needs. There are challenges like in any other business but I always ensure that I overcome them by giving my best.

Loan Proposal

I do request this loan so that I can add my own amout to reach USD75 that I require in order to repair the broken sewing machine that i have. This will help me in my business as i will be able to also offer sewing or tailoring services which are currently not being offered here. Once I repair I will go straight into sewing customers clothes and also repair part of the stock that i have which i am sometimes forced to take for repair.

    Ruth paid far ahead of schedule -- I would definitely lend to her again!

    Dear Zidisha
    To begin with let me adjust downwards but I do plan to complete most likely before the end of the year.

    Hallo Lenders
    I was able to purchase one sewing machine, I now have two and the new one is now very efficient and have been doing well. The business is picking on well thanks to the extreme marketing that I am doing to my business.
