About Me

Am ruth nganga a sister to catherine and moses nganga and my parents mr and mrs samuel nganga, life in kenya is generally balanced not good not bad,
i went to nyeri girls high school before taking a diploma in fashion desigh at kirinyaga college after college i went back home and good enouh my wonderful parents had planed on what i will do after school so they helped me advance my skills by getting me a job in nairobi at a family friend company which deals with fashion and desighn.
I dint have experience at all so i was introduced to a team that helped me and after two months i adapted to the changes and began making my own desighns.
i like spending time with friends and looking at magazines especialy once that have clothing contents.
my sister and brothers are in school it will be a honore for me to be a role model to them so i try as much as possible to achieve and surpport them in what they will want to be.

My Business

Am employed at sketchers company as a fashion designer i draw clothing sketch and suggest on the materials to be used the a team which does folding and finishings takes over the rest.
Am paid in commision so the more the sale the more i get at the end of the month.
in a good month i make 22000 kenya shillings which i use as my transport and upkeep after small savings of 4000ksh.
the cloths we make are sold to boutigues around town and its outskirts
i love my job like the picture in my profil is a ladies suit that i did the desighn last december.

Loan Proposal

thank you
I would use the amont to buy a seaweing machine this machine will enable me o be making cloths at home and sell locally to friends and boutigues around my region.
i will also be able to teach my mother how to make cloths.
i found this to be necessary becauser most of my friend keep asking me to bring them clothes like the once i wear also because can get materials at a cheaper price.
have been paying for the machine in instalments since last year december and i now have a bqalance of 165 usd so if i get this loan i will top my last months saving and buy the machine.
thank you.

    Can you get in touch with Zidisha to reduce your payments to a more manageable level? That is better than letting yourself get behind with your payments, which can make it harder to get future loans.
    God bless you,
    Wendy

    It is such a blessing for you to fund me again. This time, I will work harder on my clothing business. God bless you for your support. I will keep in touch about the progress once I receive the funds. Thank you.

    The loan helped me create employment for my mother, and increased my income. Yes, I was pressed with repaying to some extent, but I fully repaid the loan from the sewing business and not my monthly salary.

    Thank you, lenders, for funding my loan. I will use the amount for finalizing the payment on a sewing machine. This machine will enable me to do clothing design at home and also will expand my sales locally to my community. Thank you so much. God bless you.
