About Me
I was born in September 1987 in a remote village on the Eastern part of my home country Kenya.Mukuria village is in Embu County About 200Km from Nairobi which is the Capital City Of Kenya
I schooled there up to My Secondary Level where I later relocated to Nairobi in search of a job
I managed to secure some classes in Information Technology but was not lucky enough to get through the whole course due to financial contains
I had to find an alternative source of income since I realized I was becoming a burden to my hosts who were my distant cousins
I Joined a former schoolmate who introduced me to selling of second hand clothes.I have been working for her until 3 months ago when I decided to try it on my own
With the little I had saved,I bought some second hand clothes usually refereed to as "Mitumba" locally
I joined Zisidha following some advice from a friend and through it,I have managed to increase my Capital and am looking foward to even more
My Business
Just I have indicated above, my business was initially about buying and selling of second hand clothes from wholesalers of the same but through the help of Zidisha , I have managed to access my products from importers which has been a tremendous step in my bussiness
My Monthly sales usually ranged from USD100 to USD150 but have risen to about USD250 and I believe a further boost to my stocks and the introduction of new clothes and ladies shoes will be a great deal in my business
The main costs that I usually incur are city county levies which we pay twice a week and a shared store where we store our stocks overnight since we do our sales in an open place where stalls have been made
These costs may add up to USD39 in a month
This is my dream and my vision
I request all well wishers to join me in actualizing ,my dream
Thank you all in advance
Loan Proposal
Thank you for taking time to read my proposal
Just like I have already indicated earlier in my profile,I intend to buy stocks directly from importers which will be a sure guarantee of increased sales, more profit and most definitely a big business growth
I anticipate providing higher quality goods since I will hand pick them from importers directly
Come and be part of my vision
