I believe business is the way to interact with people in the society. My business is based on Art Craft and also music. Having loved Art since my Primary School and also music i believe that's what keeps me going. Currently i hold a stock of around 10, 000 Ksh. They include various products like bracelets, earrings, necklaces, medals, rings, T-shirts and Khaki shirts. I have my business based in a workshop at Githurai 45 with three other friends. The market is slowly catching up and i believe i have a bright future. I have a lot of customers around Githurai for my products and also in Maasai market and other display centers. If supported with the loan i figure out a consistent rising trend in my business and will fully support myself, my family and society at large. Thank you

    Am sorry for delaying to repay the loan installments thus causing inconveniences to the lenders and this is due to low income from my business. I have diversified my business to accommodate other products and services thus am soon to start repaying as planned. Thanks and God bless you all the zidisha members.
