About Me

I was brought up and schooled in kang'aru village in kagio town Kirinyaga county in central province Kenya.Life was not easy as we could walk long distances to school barefooted and even stay out of school due to lack of school fees but that did not deter me from achieving my goals.I burnt the midnight oil and managed to pass my exams and later joined college though with financial difficulties.
I completed my diploma in Education in 2009 and have not gotten a job yet.I decided to start selling mitumba clothes because that did not require much money for capital .I started by selling in a Kibanda but have progress end now because I have rented a small house in juja town in kiambu county near Jkuat college.I have big plans for my business.God help me.

My Business

I have a shop along sunrise street in juja town and also sell online. I sell mitumba clothes.I buy from Gikomba market and later resell at a higher price to make profit.My customers are Jkuat university students. I chose to sell mitumba clothes because that's what my target group like for the clothes are fashionable and not expensive.My overall costs by the end of the month are usually 30,000 KESto 35,000 KES and sales of about 75,000 .I divide the net profit into two.to re invest into the business to grow it.use the rest in my day to day expenses.

Loan Proposal

I will use the money to buy bales of clothes both new and mtumba for my clothes shop.am also planning to introduce one bank agency inorder to boost the sales

    Greetings,thanx zidisha team for the continued support in growing my business.
    One thing I love about zidisha is that you dont pressure.I can make my own installments that I can afford.its so stress free am with you for life.
    Business was not so good last year owing to the political instability.I may have missed an installment I made it later,I bet I was forgiven(wink wink).
    Sales dropped badly from August last year but I am optimistic things will better up.
    I am planning to restock my shop with the loan I am taking and introduce bank agency which will boost the sales.
    Thanx zidisha team.I love !
