About Me
My name is Judy Mugo, born in Kirinyaga County near the famous Mount Kenya. In fact the name Kenya is a corruption of Kirinyanga which foreigners found too hard to pronounce and my country got her name from that! Kirinyanga is a cold place with many meandering rivers which originate from the snow capped mountain. It is famous for tea production as well as other agricultural produce.
I went to school when I came of age and I joined clothing and Textile College after completing my secondary school. I then moved to Mombasa town after getting married where we settled and started a family. We were blessed with three kids now aged 13, 6 and 2 years old.
I am in music industry but I also sell insurance policies on part time basis. I am a hardworking person who endeavors to secure the future of her family.
My Business
Ever since I was a small child, I had a strong liking for music. I was very active in school choral music as well as in church. I later decided to turn my hobby into a career where I get paid for entertaining people in social gatherings such as weddings, business promotions etc.
I produced my first audio album late last year and it has been well received by my fans. I am not known beyond Mombasa and I need to do a bit of travelling doing its promotion so as to reach more people. It is for this reason that I have decided to join Zidisha program and ask for a loan to enable me meet the travelling costs.
I specialize in gospel music.
Loan Proposal
If I get this loan, I will hit the ground running as I embark on marketing my music. I hope to cover a radius of about 50 kilometers which will take me about 2 months to cover. I will also take advantage of these tours to sell more insurance policies for my company.
My target is to sell 800 over this period. I sell one copy at $2 where half of it goes to the production cost. This will cover my travelling expenses and give me something substantial to take home.
