About Me

i was born in a family of four 31 years ago. I went to Githiga primary school in murang'a county for my primary school education and after my primary school certificate i became the best girl in my location then i got an admission at a provincial school. my being in high school was a struggle to my parents and after my high school i decided to do casual jobs and after an year of saving i opted to enroll for a part time college studies. It is then that my employee discovered of my hard work and i got a promotion as well as a pay rise and i was therefore able to start a business that i had desired for ages.The business was so unique because the product promoted culture and it was affordable. my child is still young to decide on what she want to become when she grows up.I have been going to different counties to teach women and the young mothers the art of weaving and baking during my free times normally this happens every first and the last week of every month.

My Business

I am a baker by professional and i also do weaving of house mats. I also rear several pigs in my rural area. Cake baking normally has a very high demand and especially in the urban areas where by hardly do weekends pass without an occasion that is graced with a cake like birthday, anniversary and weddings. Again with the weaving of mats i just have a passion for design but i faithfully decided to go for mats since they are easy to make and there is so much fun in this. At the same time i am an outgoing, aggressive and a hardworking person and passionate about these fields.This being a newly opened business i get between25,000 to 30,000ksh. of which much of it is generated through baking and part of this money go to the growing of my new businesses as well as my home improvement.

Loan Proposal

i am in dire need of a mobile phone because the one i have has a broken screen. the other thing is that the said phone is not accessible to the internet and since we are in the digital world i have a feeling that upgrading to a better phone would do me such a great favor
