About Me

I am Lucy Wambui Kamau and I am married with three children. One of the children is still young and finished form four last year. She is still to join college this year. I live in Bahati. our home is situated next to J M Memorial Secondary school , as you alright at Bahati Center bus stage you will see a sign post that direct you to J M Secondary school you follow that route our home is just next to the school.

My Business

I have a hotel business at Bahati. My customers include those who attend the Wednesday and Saturday markets because the two days are market days. During the other days, I get customers from persons from the DCs office and those who visit the head of the district offices. I usually make a profit of about ksh 20000 per month. I also do farming. I plant maize, beans, vegetables, potatoes, onions and sometimes fruits. I use them for food for my family and the surplus I sell. I usually make about ksh 100000 from selling the farm produce over the different seasons. I also keep sheep which I sell after every four to six months. I make about ksh 50000 from the sale.

Loan Proposal

I would buy a stock of non perishable goods which some of them i will have go outsid the area of my business things like beans ,peas, rice, green grams and things like baking floor i will buy in bulk. i will use 3/4 of the money to buy the above mentioned item and the remaing i will buy the perishable goods and also use some for thetransportationand and also to pay for trade license in my premises. Thanks you all.

    Hello Lucy! It is so much easier to loan money to a business owner with such a proven track record! I am sure that our third time working together will be as successful as our previous two loans! :)
    All the best, again - Kathryn

    I am so happy that you received your full funding. It was so slow you must have been worried. Now you can buy many sweet little lambs.
    Best wishes for health, more successes and prosperity, Ann

    Hi Lucy!
    Please don't worry about writing back, I don't write my loan bankers! :) I just want you to know that I think of you often, and am excited that you are able to make your payments on time, as I hope that means you are doing well.

    I am fortunate that I have been able to loan that money to a young man with a family who owns a tailoring business, also in Kenya. So now you and I are both paying it forward.

    Hopefully someday I will get to meet you both! Take care,
    Kathryn

    Lucy, I applaud your your ingenuity and the diverse ways that you support yourself and family. Farming and raising sheep is hard work, but very good! Best wishes for success.
