I am Grace Mwende Gulani.I come from Mukurwe-ini,Central Kenya.Born in Kiambu district by Mr and Mrs Gatimu.I am a wife to Mr.Wilfred Waweru.We are blessed with two children (a boy and girl)a boy is the youngest with four years old.Me and my family are Christians and we do worship at the Faith Church,Mukurwe-ini Alter,under Bishop Mulama.I do work as a pharmacist for my daily upkeep and I own a chemist here in Mukurwe-ini.Thank you
I own a chemist shop here in Kamweni shopping center,Mukurwe-ini.My chemist is licensed by the Drugs and poisons board through the Ministry of Health,and also inspected by the local authority and issued a working permit.
I normally open my chemist from 8.00 am to 7;30 pm from Monday to Saturday.On Sundays i open at 2;pm and closes at 6;30 pm.Most of my customers are the inhabitants of the neighbouring villages.I opened my small chemist after I realised how the villagers were struggling to get the health services at about 2 killometers from their respective villages.That is why I chose to come back to my proffessional work and opened the chemist.
In my chemist i offer my customers with doctor's prescribed medicines,sell original & generic drugs depending on the customers pocket.Most of my customers are low income earners,thus I sell the medicines to them at a discounted prices,which is making them to come always whenever they are sick or whenever they have prescription from their doctor.
My monthly sales do vary from Kes.60,000 to 85,000.After my net expenses I am left with an average of Kes.12,000 net profit.Most of my profit do revolves back to the business by purchasing more stock.
I am kindly requesting Zidisha microfinance Organization to kindly support my chemist so that I can be able to purchase more drugs especially this season,the town is heavily raining ,thus making the customers to come for the anti-malarial drugs.It is my earnest prayer that you will boost my business to serve more custromers and the entire community for their good health.Regards.
I am kindly requesting for a loan of kes.9,526,equivalent to 100 U.S.D.The loan will boost my chemist by stocking more anti-malaria drugs,which is in high demand at the moment following the increasing rain in this part of the region.It is my prayer that all the lenders will contribute to my loan proposal and at the end more customers will benefit with my services.Thank you in advance for your support.Regards.
