About Me
My names are Uba Salim Bakari from Kilifi County. I am a widow of five children two are in class seven ,one in class one ,another one in class one and one in baby class and the last born is seven month old. My husband passed away two years ago through a fatal accident that amazed many in our country. I have been surviving in small business since that time up to date. M y children’s are very bright and I wanted them to go to school without failing. I have been given small support from my brothers in law. I live at Kilifi County at a place called Mtaani ,there is a shop called swaleh shop and we are neighbors. Just before the Hudaa mosque.
My Business
I have a business of selling fried potatoes. This business is good as I have been on it for over five years since the death of my dear an loving husband. I have been able of paying school fees for my children and cater for life expenses due to the selling of the fried potatoes. I have been buying raw potatoes in large quantity and fried them for sell just outside my door. My customers are the school students who pass by my door side each day passed by. I have been able of making one thousand a day as gross profit. I am used to buy like fifty kilograms of raw potatoes and at the end of the day they get finished. The completion is down as I am the only one in the area with such kind of business.
Loan Proposal
Thanks a lot for approving my application form I will; use this loan to add stock to my commodities and be able to make more profit. I have been selling fried potatoes just like that but this time a round I wanted also to add like special porridge so that if one buys the fried potatoes he or she also buy the special porridge for a better test.
