About Me

My name is Salome, born and raised in Nanyuki Kenya. I was brought up in a large family of 10 and I am the second born. Nanyuki is famous for expansive ranches and military camps for both Kenyan and British troops. I grew up helping my parents in tending their farm where we produced food crops and cattle rearing.

I did primary and secondary education and later joined a dressmaking school to learn the stitching skills. I joined this course against my will since it is my parents who insisted on me doing it. I later moved to Mombasa to look for a job but my heart was still not in tailoring.

With the help of my friends in Mombasa, I started a pub where I would sell alcoholic drinks. The business failed after a few months due to my inexperience and lack of adequate financing.

I then decided to start a restaurant where I prepare food and serve the resident around my area. This is what I am still doing and the business seems very promising.

I am a single mother of a 23 year old daughter who is also doing her own business.

My Business

I run a restaurant where I prepare food to serve the local community. I live in a densely populated area where life is fast and most people do not have time to prepare food at home. I saw this opportunity and this advised my decision to start the restaurant.

My day starts quite early at around 5.00 a.m where I head to the market to buy fruits and vegetables to be consumed for the day. I then prepare breakfast usually tea and buns to the waiting crowd. I later prepare lunch and supper and end my day at around 10.00 p.m. It is a tiresome routine but I am used to it and I am glad the business has kept me going all this time.

I make a profit of about $80 per week which I spend to settle my bills and also saving for the future.

Loan Proposal

I used the last loan to buy a freezer which was unfortunately stolen from my premises. I have been operating without one and this is very inconveniencing since I am losing a lot food due to lack of refrigeration.

I have now taken measures to make my premises more secure and I hope and pray that the new freezer will not suffer the same fate as the previous one. A new one will cost me around USD 450 and this loan will be sufficient for the purpose.

Thank you.
