About Me

My name is Anet Ouma. I am 24 years old. I was born in a polygamous family and I am the third born in my family. My dad was a policeman, while my mum is a housewife. My dad was killed by thugs while on duty in Nairobi. I went to Kaimosi Girls Secondary School. I later joined Sigala Technical College where I pursued a diploma in dressing making.

After completing my diploma in 2013, I looked for a job with no success. I finally landed a job in late 2013, but the payment was so poor. In early 2014, with $120 savings from my previous employment, I bought a sewing machine. I could not afford a premise by then, so I worked from my mum's house. I did quality work and advertised my business, and within a few months I got so many referrals and my business was booming. I rented a small shop in our shopping center that I use for my business.

I like dancing, singing, meeting new people and reading novels.

My Business

My business entails designing and dressmaking. The clients describe what they want, I design and get back to them. If they approve my work, then I go ahead to make the dress, using their preferred materials.

Designed dresses are very important in the society today, as most people prefer to wear what they like. I produce good quality work to help me retain my clients as well as get referrals for new clients.

In a month I spend $200 on buying materials, electricity and machine maintenance. My monthly revenue average is $380. I make an average of $180 in profits. I use my profits to pay school fees for my sister, save for business expansion, and take care of my family's general expenses.

Loan Proposal

Dear lenders, I am requesting for your help to finance my second loan, so that I am able to acquire a new sewing machine at cost of $200.

The new machine will enable me to employ one more tailor to help me deliver orders on time and to increase my market share. I expect my business profit to increase by $80 a month. Thank you.

    Hello Anet!

    You haven't made a single payment so far. Do you think you'll be able to repay this loan?
