About Me

I am the second born among five siblings, I went to kimilili primary school where I sat for my primary education and later joined Mukumu girls for my secondary education. I paased well and went for interior design and dressing making diploma at Kisumu Polytechnic.
After graduation with my diploma,getting a job was an uphill task and I could not get any job,I took a loan from a friend that I used ti buy a sewing machine and worked from my house because I could not afford to rent a workshop. My friends were my main first clients and because of my good job they referred clients to me and within six months i was able to expand the business and opened my workshop for designing and dress making..
II have one kid who is 10 months old, she is growing first and I named her Erina,I am praying that God gives her good health so that she lives to fulfill her dreams.
I am out going and kind woman,I have currently expanded my workshop and I am training two orphans for free as a way of giving back to the community and also giving them opportunities to grow themselves.

My Business

I provide interior design for houses ,make curtains and design cloths and make them in my workshop.the demand for my services and goods has risen with time because of my quality ,unit work and good prices.I also offer goods on credit to trusted customers.
These goods and services useful to the community and service provides are few and that is why I choose these business.
My monthly typical costs are $200 and my monthly typical revenues are $500 on average each month.
I use my revenues to help educate my friend who lost her parents two years ago,in road acciden ,take care of my bills and help my aging parents .

Loan Proposal

I would add $60 to the loan to buy an original sweing machine ,I will then employ one person to help me with work since the business has grown and work load has increased.the second sewing machine will help me finish customers work on time ,make timely delivery and improve my productivity. it will also help me employ one jobless young kenyan.Thank you
