About Me

My name's are Mary Gichangi.

I am 30 years old and with three children.

I have been brought up in a family of 10 children.
It has not been easy for us because my mum was a mini bus driver back then and had to go an extra mile of selling charcoal just to sustain us.

She was really hardworking and she managed.
l learnt through her how to handle business and customers because we could help her with the business over the weekends.

She is my hero.

My Business

I sell ladies shoes, this is a journey which I started when my employer denied me some time off to do my Master's,I did not give up and so I did a promotion of an energy drink that gave me some small capital to start up. I bought ladies clothes, bags, shoes etc.
I decided to do business while l study.

I sell ladies shoes mostly because ladies love shoes, they can have so many pairs for all occasions.

My business has great potential as l have seen my clients request for more variety and styles of shoes.

Loan Proposal

Dear Lenders,

I would like to restock a variety of shoes that will cater for all seasons, I seem to have more summer shoes hence limiting my sales.

I will use 300$ to buy the shoes, 100$ for advertisement and airtime.

I hope to open up a shop at the end of this year...


Regard's

Mary Gichangi.

    Greetings lender's,

    I am kindly requesting you to allow me to reduce my weekly payment until business picks up again. Business is picking up again and am determined to pay off the balance.

    Dear Lenders,

    I managed to finish my loan though i had a bit of struggle because the weather is really unpredictable now in Kenya, was hoping it will be summer in August but then it still cold and sometimes it rains. I would love to restock variety that will cater for all seasons because i have more summer shoes than winter.

    Thank you for the continuous support.

    God bless.

    Greetings,

    Business is a bit low due to sudden change of weather.
    We had summer shoes but now it's raining and it takes time to adjust to that.
    That's why l have had delays. But l haven't lost hope.

    Thank you Zidisha.
