I am Mary Rachael Wanjiku Hato, a resident of Embakasi . This is a suburb approximately 20KM from Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya. I am a mother of three and a business woman in the vicinity . I am an O level person. I refuel gas to the fuel users in my neighborhood and the business has grown speedily. I saw it vital to start such a business since there was none of the same kind around by then and people used to carry far their gas cans for refilling. With less competition and high population, I enjoy the service I provide to my fellow residents.
Without a doubt, fuel is a basic commodity. Frequent shortages is a challenge to this business. This drastically affects my business at large. Fluctuating world prices of this commodity is also another discouraging thing that negatively affects the business. Also, after sales services are part and parcel of the growth of certain businesses like the one I operate. I would do better with pulling-carts for transporting the gas cans to the loyal customers’ residents for a mutual kind of togetherness with them.
Thank you to you all lenders and the whole of Zidisha organization for approving my loan at this moment. I would like to use this amount to introduce small sizes of gas cans of 1kilogram. Many customers are preferring to be buying these small gas cans because of their affordability. I hope this will go a long way in improving my business. Thank you again for such a great opportunity.
