About Me

My name is Sara Wanda Ouko. Am a lady living alone. I come from a family of five. Am the last born in my faimily (four boys and one girl) My mum and dad passed away. so i started this business to help me to cater for my family needs. All my elder sisters are married and my brother too. So am the one left with the young ones. I only manage to finish primary education and i couldn't move on with my studies because there was no one to help me (mum and dad died). My sisters and brother also help me with some cash to buy food and clothes. Right now am running my business at the same time am working at a Chinese clothing company. I use the money i get from my business to buy food and also buy stock for my shop and save the rest because am also planning to have my own family and i must have savings not to rely on my husband. I want to provide everything for myself.

My Business

Am a tailor and i also do fashion designs, and also i do sell clothes, materials, baby clothes, bed covers e.t.c. My charges are fair and in the area there are other tailors but they do not sell the goods i sell. so people have to travel up-to Mombasa city to buy clothes and materials am even planning to travel to Taveta where clothing are cheaper, materials, leso, baby clothes bed covers e.t.c. My business gives me a good profit but i want to expend it to other higher level. In a month i make sales of about Ksh 39,000. I pay Ksh 5,000 rent for my business premises, i spend Ksh 15,000 to buy clothes, material e.t.c, i have a sales lady whom i pay her Ksh 5,000. Ksh 14,000 remains as my net profit. but it varies sometimes i get more profi ksh 10,000 is the minimum net profit i do make.

Loan Proposal

Thanks for accepting and activating my application. Am looking forward to get a loan and expand my business. Am planning to go to Tanzania and get new fabric material that are in fashion shoes. Am really thankful and am working hard to be self reliant in my life and i promise to pay back my loan on time. Hoping to get a loan soon.
