About Me

My name is Josehin Akinyi ,I was born born and raised in western kenya. I am not my mum died at my birth so I never had a chance to see her,however my dad was loving and caring man. I enjoyed life until when I was in class 7,my dad succumbed to cancer and remained motherless and fatherless. I moved in with my aunt ,the familly loved me so much and once again I felt lively. I went to sega secondary school where i sat for my KCSE.
After sitting for my national examinations my aunts husband started making sexually advances to me .I explained these to my aunt ,when my aunt confronted him he said I was a lier bit me up and threw me out of his home. I moved to kisumu town where i worked as a house-help for 3 months and with $200 saving I started my own second hand cloths business and later started doing new cloths.
I currently have one child who is 4 years old,she is quite too young to know what he wants to do ,I also adopted a street child whom I live with she is 5 years and in baby class.
I love singing,dancing,meeting new people and giving motivational talks to girls facing challenges.

My Business

I sell both used and new cloths.I ensure i select the best cloths that fits the current generation and are the latest designs in the market.,these helps me to attract and retain youthful clients which are majority of my clients.
Clothing is very important in any society as they are necessities and people will always buy.
I choose these business because it was one of the business I thought was most profitable ,I really happy things turned out well.
I spend $600 on stock ,and rent every month.my monthly income is about $850 per month.My profits are $250 per month.
I use my profits to take of my child and another street child I live with. They are both still young and in nursery school. I also save for business expansion.

Loan Proposal

Hey lenders
I hope you are all well. I am new here and requesting you to advance me a $100 loan to help me expand my business by adding children's cloths. Lots of my clients are women who are usually impulse buyers and I believe if I add children cloths the will always buy for their kids ,nephews,and nieces as they buy their own. I would use the money to buy one bale of nice children cloths. I expect my business income to increase significantly through these new venture.thanks in advance.
