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 Lender's,

I intend to use the loan to restock a variety of shoes as per my clients request.

I am growing and kindly requesting for your support and making my dream come true.

I will use 300$ for restocking, 50$ for marketing and airtime so as to notify our clients of new stock.
This will continue increase my clientele since a variety of shoes will attract more customers.

We shall about 30% profit which l can reinvest back into the business.

Looking forward to your continuous support.

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.
