About Me
I was born in a family of 6; 3 girls and 3 boys as the last born. I then went to the local nursery school n later joined the local pry sch. Having come from my humble background, I knew I had to work extra hard to change my families living stardards. I always topped in my class upto class 8 where I set a record yet to be broken. I then joined Nyahururu high sch and through the hardship of matters pertaining school fees, I managed to pass well and I joined JKUAT main campus Juja where I take Bsc Applied maths and statistics.
Besides my little savings which i had made after the hustles in industrial area Nairobi after form 4, we teamed with my friend Steve and decided to start a clothes business. after struggles of taking clothes from one hostel to the other, we managed to open a boutique in Juja town.
The unique thing about the land I come from is that It's ever green growing all kind of vegetables and potatoes. The unique hobby I have is that I like playing catalogue quiz challenge.
My Business
My business is a boutique where I sell both clothes and shoes. I chose this business in because the population of Juja is mainly occupied by student who are so good in shopping. I sell my products at a profit so as to earn a living. I use my profit to pay for my rent, school fees and also to expand my business. Also, I have joined a group called Hands of Compassion Ministry (HCM) where we are visiting children homes to help the needy there.
Loan Proposal
After you have credited me the cash, I will add a little more cash and buy a multipurpose printing machine which goes for $500. This will help me to be able to print and photocopy assignments and projects for the students around Juja. This idea came to me when I noted that the population of student has increased drastically and there are very few printing machines around. Again the printers available are of poor quality making students suffer n travel far to find other printers. Also besides solving that problem, I will also make a fortune for myself which am estimating to be around $150 a month. I'll be glad when u credit me the funds.
