About Me
My name is Cynthia Kaput, i went to school at Nairobi river primary school and later joined st Barnabas girls secondary school in Nyanza for 4 years and later joined Kenyatta university for my degree. when i finished my secondary school my father passed on and it was very hard for my mother to cope up with raising me and my sibling single handedly. This forced me to look for business and assist my mother as i was studying online and that really gave me ample time to open a small beauty shop. I sold human hair, cosmetics , handbags and African khangas. what is unique about our culture is that the people there still hold their traditions like living in one homestead with a single gate and also eating together as a family.
My Business
In my shop i have a variety of women's items, i sell weaves, earring, handbags, African khangas, cutex just to mention a few. These good are very useful to ladies since they like make-up and they are always in demand.
I chose this kind of business because ladies items are fast moving and as such am able to make some reasonable profit.
The costs i incur is for stocking the weaves and cosmetics and sometimes i travel all the way to Kampala, Uganda to bring handbags and African khangas.
The profits i make has really help me to add on my school fees and now the am finishing my degree course this year i will be able to also assist my mother .
Loan Proposal
When i get this loan which will be my second loan, i am planning to expand my business premises and make it have a new look and then add more stock
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my lenders and the entire zidisha team for making my dream come true.Were it not for the accident i had i would very far but i thank God that as soon as i got well and returned to my business i was able to make huge profits which helped me to clear my loans and clear all my bills.
