About Me
I am Catherine Mwende Mutua, a Kenyan aged 31 years old and living in Machakos town, Machakos county. I am a mother to Nikita Nundu, aged five years.
I am a graduate with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Kampala International University, Uganda. I have worked for several local organisations as an administration assistant, researcher, data clerk and marketer.
My hobbies are travelling, socialising and volunteering.
My Business
I have a retail shop located at Katoloni next to St. Monica Girls School along Machakos-Wote Road. I deal in general shop supplies as well as groceries.
I have been in business for four years now and it helps cater for my family's needs, which includes paying school fees for my daughter, who just joined class one, as well as paying other bills.
I am not the only shop around, which means stiff competition. I endeavor to make my business stand out by having all the items that my customers seek. This ensures that I have loyal clients, thus a steady business.
Loan Proposal
My business deals with small small household products that the surrounding community needs, products like milk, bread, sugar, salt, flour, detergents, groceries, cereals, cooking gas, and cooking oil, to mention but a few.
With a guaranteed availability, customers will make my shop be the go-to shop. This will ensure my sales volume is on an upward trajectory, thus increasing my profits. The loan I am proposing from the Zidisha community will afford me extra cash to stock my business.
