About Me

I am a young kenyan lady with a college diploma in counselling i first landed my contractual employment with MSF(doctors with out borders) as a H.I.V and AIDS counsellor one year after completing college a job that i held for two years and following the end of msf contract i was absorbed with AMPATH in the same position.When my second contract ended i ventured into business opening an MPESA shop(mobile phone money transfer service) that has currently grown into a small retail shop.

My Business

When i opened my MPESA shop i got only commision from safaricom and in order to diversify and increase my income i started a small retail shop that is steadily growing as the business is located in a well populated area with a sizeable number of customers both for the mpesa service and retail shop.Other than this business i from time to time still work as a counsellor with AMPATH on short contractual basis.

Loan Proposal

It is my intention to use the loan money in restocking my retail shop , chief among the products that i intend to stock on being maize flour as there is expected to be a drop in supply of this product after the El nino rains that is predicted to hit East africa in october , i therefor intend to use the spend the money in this manner:-
US$ 172 on maize flour,US$ 66 on soft drinks, and US$ 57 on assorted food stuff.
