About Me

I am a 39 years old single mother of two boys aged 17 and 7 years old.I am Having finished my high school diploma,i joined local polytechnic where i acquired tailoring skills.I have been paying bills for the last 18 years by tailoring but last year February i started buying cloth material from Uganda and distributing them to other tailors and also selling them directly to customers.This has improved my income as i both sell the material and also sew for them.I really enjoy doing my work and i have an advantage over my competitors because sewing is my hobby, i work at home and i also take care of my parenting duties without any problems plus the profits are not bad.

My Business

Doing what i love gives me a lot of satisfaction and happiness.I have loved sewing since i was young and that's why after high school i already knew what i wanted to do in life.This is why i need Zidisha's help to help me improve on my business to help me be able to pay for my son's university fees as he will be graduating from high school this year and GOD willing join local university. I would like to be helped with a loan so that i buy another sewing machine to employ another person to help me run this business as i have increased customers and also manage my business while i am away.the remaining amount will be to add on stock.I realy appreciate what the zidisha team is doing to help young businesses grow.I would also like to thank all the lenders for the wonderful job they are doing in helping businesses grow to the next level.GOD bless you all.
