About Me

My name is Juliet Mwangi an author and development facilitator. I am also a wife and mother to three children. I am passionate about family. I love nature and enjoy environmental issues. I have a degree in Bachelor of Arts in Communication and am currently in progress with a master's degree. I am passionate about God and also passionate about the work I do.

My Business

Ghala Delights started in January 2023. We major in propagating bamboo seedlings and selling animal feeds. So far, we have managed to increase production to 20 Tonnes per month. We have also managed to penetrate more regions for supply. We are still working to improve animal feed knowledge through research and place our brand name at the top list in agricultural services.

Loan Proposal

I will use the loan to purchase a charcoal dryer. Currently in kenya we are exeriencing cold season with intervals of short rains. As such the charcoal is taking 2-3 days to dry hence it is affecting our supply demand. With the dryer it will only take 6 hours to dry 20 bags of charcoal at once. It is therefore necessary that i am granted this loan to enable me order and purchase a charcoal dryer.

    Currently the production machine has broke down one month ago. The technicians have been on board to repair it. But seemingly it requires to be adjusted all round. As a result there has been no sales and all the savings are going towards the repairs to enable us go back to production.

    I am glad to say that I manage to buy the charcoal dryer with the loan I collected. I am now able to cater for the customer demand because the charcoal is drying faster and hence I am not encountering a back log. Thank you lenders for your continued support

    Hi Joell and Anna,
    Thank you so much for your support in this venture. I received the loan. I purchased additional chicken waste and sugar baggase from the farmers. This in turn has increased my production and hence I will be able to meet the demand for the orders made for February 2015.
    Kind regards
