About Me

My name is Monica Nyambura. I am the first born in a family of 3.My family lives in Ngong ,matasia but I stay in Nairobi. I work at Chemville pharmaceuticals as a clinical officer. I studied Clinical medicine at Kenya Medical Training College Nairobi. My passion is to treat and manage patient competently. I work at the chemist by dispensing drugs and also do consultations since it’s also my area of expertise. I do polio and measles campaigns through the ministry of health, within the community during my free time.

My Business

My source of income comes from working at the chemist. I want to expand the chemist so that I can have a consultation room so as to start consultation services for the residents of Kayole. Currently I do most consultation over the counter and dispense and manage over the counter. I also want to offer family planning services and that requires the patients' privacy. I also want to start I.V Medications that can only be done in a private room. To achieve all the above I need a bed for examinations of the patients, a B.P machine, a table and a desk and I will be good to go. The area has low earning families and will really benefit from the affordable consultation services as many other big private hospitals are much more expensive. The patients will also benefit through health education about importance of family planning, immunization, weaning which cannot be achieved through consultation over the counter. The above is expected to cost about $250 and my monthly revenue is $300 so I won’t have a problem paying the loan in installments of one week.

Loan Proposal

First and foremost I would like to thank the lenders and the Zidisha team as a whole for being of great assistance since I started this project.With your help i was able to set up my chemist and HIV testing and counselling center.Currently I want to expand and set up a fully equipped laboratory which will aid in diagnosis of different tropical diseases like malaria,typhoid brucellosis just to mention a few.I will need 330$ as capital which will assist in purchasing a microscope,centrifuge and various reagents required. I will be able to make timely repayments from income from the chemist.Your funds will be highly appreciated.
