About Me

My name is Nelius Mariga i come from Kenya and lives in a town called Naivasha. I come from a nuclear family of three children, am the first born in my family. I joined pre- school when i was 4 years of age and later did my primary education; afterwards i proceeded to secondary education. I joined college and did a diploma in medical laboratory sciences.

My wish was to continue with my education and acquire a bachelor’s degree in medical laboratory sciences and at least be in position to get a better job within my society but due to financial crisis that could not happen. I did not continue with my education because I have been brought up by a single mum and she was concentrating on my younger siblings who needed education also. I started hustling up and down looking for a job and without success I decided to do voluntary work at the nearest health facility near our home. Within that period I was able to gain the experience.
Luckily my uncle who saw the interest I had in my career and the patients funded me with some amount of money which I used to open up a small laboratory within our home are which i operate to date.
I love my profession because at makes fill fulfilled whenever I see that my clients have received satisfactory results and they become well. My prayer and my wish is to see my business expand, when my children grow up i want them to be great business people that why i am working so hard to lay a good foundation for them.
My hobbies are reading on both fact s and fiction and traveling during leisure i spend time with my family.

My Business

I love my business, it is doing well. I have a laboratory department whereby i run routine tests for my clients. I personally concentrate on routine tests because they do not demand a lot and they are done routinely for the management of the patients. I chose this business because foremost I have a passion for the patients and one thing i put in my mind is that I can give them quality services and confidence to my clients because of what i am providing to them.
My target is to expand laboratory and at least be in a position to run also specialized tests also for the clients with chronic illnesses. From my income am able to cater for my daily needs i.e. food, transport and rent for my business i make around 600KES daily. I believe if i increase the stocks of my reagents and at least get glucometer for monitoring diabetic clients and the timer at least to improve on quality of the results. This way i will be in a position of increasing my daily income.

Loan Proposal

If i will qualify for the laon since i changed my business to a malimali shop that deals with baby items such as diapers, baby chairs, and also am selling air time plus the mpesa shop .Hnce the money to increase my air time stock since the sales have been good but a challenge in meeting the clients needs.I will also use the amount to get a variety of diapers since my main am to be ther to satisfy the customers with their choice and also stock a variety of chilrens items such as toys and any other item that is related to children because i noted a need of this item in my area of business location. This will increase my sale and make a better profit that will enable me in making the loan repayment on time.
I also would wish to use some of the amount in creating a poster showing the presence of an mpesa shop to capture the clients that are passing by.
My expectaion are that my sales will increase to 3000 per week making a profit of 1000 since i will be able to stock whatever are asking from my shop and i do not have it currently.
