About Me

Am Raphael Kimanzi, I come out in a household of 3 siblings. I been the second oldest.
Born in Kiambu county, Ruaka Town. Having a hardworking pop who has taken me through Primary and Secondary education successfully with his Jua kali work where he used to take leather sandals to exhibitions and shows. God bless him.
After successfully clearing my secondary education, I got on my grind where my loving mother handed over her general shop that sells fast consumable goods, furthermore, selling leather sandals online and at the general shop. This was the best decision I made for I always wanted to be a young businessman so as to learn the game of business early. It has been a tough journey coming to learn the key aspect of owning a business is customer service, But I do thank the giver of life for where I operate my business there are all friendly customers and a safe locale for running a business.
Blessed with a young boy born Dec 2023, He is the reason of having positive mindset of life and strength. God take care of his soul
I love self-education for I firmly believe that's the only kind of education there is after choosing the light path.

My Business

The business sells fast consumable goods that every household needs to run day to day, whereas also I have good handmade Leather sandals made in Malindi, Kenya.
In the General shop, I can say it's a profitable business as long one has good shelve stock up for what I sell its what the people need for their daily life activities whereas the leather sandals is a
luxury doesn't adequately provide the revenue planned but am heels up on getting into online selling and I have faith it will satisfy the clients.
Entrepreneurship has been a rough since the Year 2023 started on reason high taxation measures implemented by the Government of Kenya. The disposable income the Citizens had has gone on stagnation, but I still have faith all will be well.
Revenue generated from the business I stock the business, household items and Miscellaneous.

Project Proposal

What am planning to do with the second project funds is to stock more especially food stuffs that my customers will purchase.
When the shop is available with stocks it's easy to make profit first as an entrepreneur and also humanity wise, I have customers whom take credit of food stuffs and clear the pending credit end month, It will benefit them not to lack what they need to feed theirs families on the front line.
On the long run, I as an entrepreneur will have profit and last but not least Zidisha and too the helpful backers would have done one Godly favour, Bless
