Stationery for printing shop

Entrepreneur

About Me

My name is Hellen Wanjiru Maina, and I was born in Murang'a, Gaturi location, Nyakihai Sublocation, Kirima Village. Currently, I live in Nairobi, Zimmerman. My father is a driver and my mother is a small scale farmer. Through their efforts, they managed to educate the four of us, my two brothers and sister through college education. After clearing college I worked in various sectors where I also joined some Merry-go-round groups which helped me raise some capital and start the shop where I am currently working.

My Business

My business specialty is mainly services. Some of the major things include, offering government services through online platforms such as ecitizen.go.ke. Here I assist customers t renew their driving licenses, apply for Kenyan Passport, Business registration and such other services included in the platform. Other online services include ghris.go.ke, teacher service commission website among others. Apart from the online services I also offer other services such as photo editing, passport photo and photo printing, as well as documents printing services.
Virtually, I chose this type of business due to my qualifications from college (Diploma in Information Communications Technology), which made it easy for me to navigate through the online services. Normally, on a good day I make about ($10), which is used across a wide sort of activities among them paying rent and taking care of my family. Every three months together with my friends we visit a children home around home as a way of giving back to the community.

Loan Proposal

Hello lenders,
As mentioned earlier, this has been a tough period for me. Through this money, I will be able to restock my shop again with stationery.
1. 4 by 6 photo papers 6 packets going for $9
2. A4 size photo papers 10 packets going for $10
3. Photocopy papers 1 carton $17
Total: $36 which I will use a small part of my savings to top up the remaining balance.
The photo papers will help me meet the demand of printing photos in the shop and avoid always rushing out to buy 1 piece every time I exhaust my stock. Similarly, I have recently secured a contract from a nearby school, where I do most of their photocopying and printing works, the photocopy papers will help me meet the customers demand.
Thank you.
