My name is Mairine Sawenja I come from Maliki Area in Western Kenya. I am the First forn in a family of 6. I went to School in Western province. Much of my schooling was so difficult because of the rural setting and the schools were not in good state hence the we lacked proper materials to learn. Through the learning our performance was not good but in high school I Managed to go to a good school hence I managed to pass. I have achieved a lot through my handwork and challenges. It’s the poor state of my parents that enabled me to achieve all this in life. After High school I joined college where I learnt sales and marketing and thereafter got employed by several employers to be sales agent.
After working for two years in employment I decided to start my business where I saw the need to sell examinations and school exams materials. I have diversified to selling text books for school. The business is now two years old and growing stronger
My business is called Elite Supplies I deal with procuring and sale of School exams, School textbooks, and even supply of other stationeries to schools. The business has been in operation for two years now and to where I am today I have achieved so much. Am currently supplying books and exams to many schools in my region and this has given me an opportunity to grow. I have opened another branch to specialize in books alone so that the current one specializes in examinations alone.
I have seen great growth and the business is performing very well.
I buy and sell Stationeries to schools. some of the products i deal with are exams, school resource materials and Laboratory materials. I have been in this business for two years now and i know it's profitable. Most of the clients i supply are schools and then they pay within 30 days of my supply. the payments are sure because i deal with institutions.
My monthly sales ranges from Ksh. 100,000-200,000. the loan will help increase the cash that i have and supplement in case of shortage.
I have the will to repay and grow to greater level with funding from Zidisha.
I look forward to being considered. thank you
