About Me

I was raised in a family of five I being the second born child. I joined nursery school at early stage then later joined primary school where I sat for Kenya certificate of primary education.
I overcame hardships to start my own business where by the little amount I saved from my pocket money while I was in primary school.
Our land or culture where I live we believe in God and trust him in everything we do to prosper.
My children will be the most educated now that I struggle so hard to make there life better than ever.
I like traveling and meeting new people in life to learn more ideas.

My Business

I run a mini shop and cereals. I sale variety of goods like; sugar, salt, cooking oil, soaps etc.
Due to high demand of the goods in area where I live now that am the only running such kind of business.
I had a passion of doing such kind of business since I was young. I had a dream of starting my own business.
My revenue goes to government where they use as tax.
I use my profit in paying rent, helping my siblings in in terms of basic needs and other amount in reinvestment to my business.

Loan Proposal

I will use de money to buy all the stoke for my shop that is not there ,,I mean that is (finished) for me to get more profit and be able to pay my loan on time,, also pay my house rent, school fees for my siblings and also to be able to send some amount of money to my mother who is at the village,another thing that I will do with the money is, I will use the money to renovate my shop to make it more attractive to my customers. This will cost me about $98dollars each item to cost about 10 to 17 dollars,this items include 10 kg of sugar, 15kg of wheat floor, 20litre of cooking oil, 90kg of maize and many more genuine things. My profit will increase by 30%.

    I used the loan funds that I have just completed for stocking more items for my shop, Thise includs bars of soaps, bags of sugar, salt, cooking oil, cooking fat and many more. I have seen a big change in my business since I received the money it helped me to even increase my shop in size, my earnings from this business have made my profit to increase from where I was 15% up to 25%. My increase from thise profit have really helped me in paying school fees for my younger siblings who are still in high school.
