About Me

I am a businesswoman from Nairobi, Kenya. I sell Fruits and Vegetables in Marikiti Market in downtown Nairobi.
I went to school in Central Kenya and came to Nairobi to do business. I hope you will give me th chance to expand my business. I would farther like to borrow a second loan to inject it in my business to expand. We have just come from a draught in Kenya and it has started raining again so vegetable prices are much lower

My Business

I buy Fruits and Vegetables from Central Kenya at a cheaper price and transport them to Nairobi where i sell them at a market. I can make a profit of $5 a day.

I would like to increase my products so that i can increase my profits, customers and clients are readily available. Its the rainy season here in Kenya fruits and vegetables are readily available at lower price.

Loan Proposal

I want to buy and extra crate of onions worth $10 which i will sell for $15. This extra cash will enable me repay the loan as i continue expanding the business

    Felista paid her loan off perfectly and was a pleasure to work with. I would gladly lend to her again and encourage others to do the same.

    Hello lenders ,i talked to Felister and we talked about on-time loan repayment as she was doing in her first five repayment.I still advised her to adjust the loan repayment as soon as possible to next loan higher.
    She agreed and i think she will do her best.
