About Me

my name is as mentioned above and i was born from a poor background, stayed with a family friend who use to stay in Nairobi and they paid my school fees both high school and campus. i graduated last year and now a job-seeker. last year the people who paid my school feels went abroad and i was left behind staying with a friend. I had to look for ways of survival and i opened a small kipanda for cooking food and selling to massionary people in the neighborhood. currently i am doing well but i want to expand it. The unique thing about where i stay is that people are so friendly and supportive infact all of them i have never met with mad men.

my hobby is reading books and thats wat has helped me love even my bible which gives me spiritual nourishment and therefore giving me strength.

My Business

My business is doing well with an average income of 700 per day and this has realy help me pay my rent and support my siblings back at home. I am proud of my customers who have really stayed faithfully with me. what has contributed mostly to my performance is the good services to my clients which include clean food , fast services and credit services offered to them. I make good chapatis, mokimo and githeri for lunch and at times ugali and vegetable. There was high demand due to construction taking place in the region.

Loan Proposal

Dear lenders, I would like to start by thanking you for your generous and continuous support in my cooking business. I am very much grateful for all the funds you've lent me before it has allowed me to grow my business and also allowed me to venture into farming from the extra savings i have made from my profits. I am currently struggling in buying food supplies for my little business . I will be grateful if I can be lent some money to top up on the little i have to ensure that i have enough and steady supplies to meet my customers demands. Your assistance will mean a lot to me and my business as well. Thank you for always being part of my growth. I hope that some day I will also be in a position to assist people in need as you have been assisting me. God bless you.

    i would like to to thank my lenders for financing my business i am very grateful for your commitment in helping my business to grow. I have been lucky to grow more profits hence the early payment. Recently i have been experiencing some challenges for my business and customers due to the rainy season. my customers have been experiencing difficulties in dinning in my kiosk as rain pours in from every direction. cooking has also been a challenge as fire is being blown by the strong winds. i would humbly ask my lenders to kindly lend me some money to enable me to buy some iron sheets to strengthen my kiosk. i will be happy to serve my customers in a good environment. you have always supported my business from the start and for that i will always be thankful to you. you are a dream come true to my life as i can help and support my mum through you. thank you in advance and God bless your giving hands abundantly.
