About Me

My name is Stanely Njoroge, third born in a family of eight. I am a Christian by faith. I went to Kimorori Primary and I did my KCPE in year 2008. I joined Kariguini Secondary and I did my KCSE in year 2012. Due to lack of money, I was not able to join a college. I decided to start farming. In year 2013, my uncle at Mazeras called me to work in his shop, but in the year 2015 January my uncle's shop was attacked by robbers and they managed to steal money and shop inventory. So, my uncle told me that our business would not be able to pay a worker. I decided to start my own business of selling plastic bags in the market and small shops. During my leisure time, I love watching movies.

My Business

My business is selling plastic bags in the market and small shops. I chose this business because many people use plastic bags for carrying simple things from the market and shops, and it needed a small amount of capital. In one week, I manage to raise KSh 1000 which is not enough to satisfy me with daily bread and to pay house rent. If granted this loan, I will be able to expand my business and this will add income in my pocket which will help me to employ youths here. Thank you in advance.

Loan Proposal

My lenders, I would like to thank you a lot as now my standard of living has increased. I am hoping you will lend to me again. My plan is to add all kinds of plastic bags in my business and to increase my stock at large. 1kg, 2kg, 3kg and 4kg will cost me $100. Also, I will add plastic hand bag known as Marlboro which will cost me $50. I will also buy v 22, v15, and v30 and that will cost me $50. I'm also planning to employ a coworker who will help me to supply bags from shop to shop which will increase my profit and save my time.

      I thought so... I remember there was talk of a plastic bag ban, but wasn't sure if it had happened yet... Thanks for the reply Stanely :-)

      Might just be worth updating "My Business" & taking that bit out :-) I think you will probably get your future loans funded even quicker if that bit wasn't there :-)

      It looks like the rest of the loan has been funded now, but I'm following you for future loans :-)

      Thanks again Stanely... Wishing you the very best with your tomato crop, hope it all goes smoothly for you :-)

    I'd love to help a little with your Tomato Farming loan, but just wanted to check if you still go around selling plastic bags Stanely?

    If not, it might be worth updating "My Business" to avoid confusion :-)

    Please let me know :-) I've put a tiny bit in now, in hopes that its maybe just for your tomato farming (it sounds like thats what its for)... But still thought I'd double check, just to be sure :-)

    Hope things are going nicely for you up your end...
    All the best, Emma from Australia.
