About Me

I am the last born in a family of four currently residing in Nakuru, Lanet area.

I studied in Loreto high school and went to Nakuru teachers college for my diploma. I graduated in 2011 and opened a small cafe business in Nakuru town. Later on, I got a teaching job at the Lanet Eagle Mount Academy where I am situated to date.

My hobbies include making new friends, eating and swimming. I also love cooking and that is why I want to expand my business. In order to do so I need to move from the shed along the Matatu stage where my cafe is currently located to a place in the town CBD.

My Business

Due to the rising number of cafe owners in town, I am planning to beat the competition by offering quantity and quality food. I plan to deliver food to clients at their place of choice in plastic tins. I sell products such as traditional porridge, mandazi, vegetables, fruits, beef stew and chapatis.

Monthly I earn around $130 from my teaching job, $350 from my cafe less $32 for license fees and $270 for restock, leaving me with a profit of $48. Should I by any chance experience difficulties in repaying my loan due to possible increases in food prices, I will use my teaching salary to repay my loan.

Loan Proposal

i earn an estimate of 130 dollars from my teaching job, 350 dollars from the cafe and pay a license of 32dollars, restock using 270 dollars while i save 48dollars. in case i experience difficulties in repaying my loan maybe due to increase in food prices, i will use my teaching salary to repay my loan however, my last loan has helped me increase my earnings from the case with an estimate amount of 120$ monthly. with the amount of 300$, i will purchase one pig for 93$, woodwork and preparation of the pork butchery will cost an estimate of 116 dollars, since i already have a license, i will not have to pay for another one. however, i will employ a butcher for a salary of 58$. the rest will be used for miscellaneous purposes and other needs that may come up in the process. i hope that you will support me as i seek to achieve financial stability for my family and i.

    hi, hope you are fine as my family and I. I thank God for this opportunity, really. With the profits of my pork business, I was able to get a bigger space and extend my business and now I sell both pork and beef meat. This is big for me, hoping I will be able to sell all types of meat eg, fish, chicken, rabbit etc. Thank you for your support hoping I will be sharing the good news with you soon.

    Greetings! hope this finds you well. May I take this opportunity to thank you for a second chance to apply for another loan since it has helped me a lot, to upgrade in my business.
    Honestly I was able to take my son to a boarding school,he is now in grade four and he performs marvelously since he normally tells me that he would like to be a pilot when he grows up. I was also able to build a house for my mum as a thanksgiving gift for bringing me up as a single mom since my dad died while I was in grade three. Am so grateful for you! Thanks so much guys for this opportunity God bless you and continue with the good job.
