I'm Mariam from Kenya Busia county mabale village ..I'm running a small village shop in the center of this village..selling household basics like cooking oil,soap,sugar,charcoal , cereals like green grams etc. I started with a capital of 2500 , on the verandah of the same shop before expanding and renting the shop.
I run a small shop in the center ..my startup income came from a Merry go round group that I was a member. The Merry go round is savings group which we also save and share out during the end of the year. We have a member ship of 12 members .every member saves a hundred shillings weekly while the Merry go round is 200 shillings per week given to one member .the a hundred is shared during closure end of year.
This funds when gotten will be used to boost my existing shoe business. I started this business last year and from the returns it's not that bad it just needs some financial boost that's why I'm requesting for this funds . With this Christmas season coming business will be good. From July this are months when farmers have haversted and parents have paid fees for their kids so people have an extra coin to spend.
