My name is Florence Sidi Konde a resident of mtwapa and a busines woman in mtwapa as well.Am a mother of two children aged twelve and nine years old, The first born is a boy and he is in class seven and my last born is class five. My educational backgground is only primary school dropout i went up to class seven and could not finish because of my family's financial status. For this reason i could not get a reasonable job, so i turned to business as my source of income.I Soon after school i had a friend of mine who had a tailoring machine, and i used to help her with her work so with this being close with her i also got the idea and she taught me how to sew and a few designing. And when i thought of a business i started a tailoring shop This business was hard to me but after sometime i got used to and started getting many clients.Right now i have orders even from schools and also churches.
My business is tailoring ,i do this business here in mtwapa In this business i design and make different types of wears ,,gents ,ladies and also children wears.This is a good and profitable business especially when you have enough customers. With my business i have ready customers now as i have orders from three different schools and one church. With their work am always busy designing and sewing thier items. Risks in this business include , late payments as this sometimes delays other orders or even make other orders impossible. In my business i make an income of ksh 20,000 per month, with thsi income i use ksh 2,000 paying rent, ksh 5,000, paying school fees, and 5,000 for my family food. So i save ksh 8,000 per month.
thank you so much the whole of zidisha team for making this true. with this first loan from this organization i will use 12,000 shillings to buy two more tailoring machines that i will add to my shop. and have two more assistance who will be helping me. and the rest i will buy different of school materials that i will keep them ready in my shop just waiting for the orders. this will increase my daily earnings
