About Me

My name is Alice Wangari Wanyika. I am a Christian and I attend church every Sunday with my family. I am a choir member and an official in the church. I come from a family of seven siblings being the third born. I am married with 3 children who are now in college and one in Nairobi University. I live in Githunguri, Utawala where I have lived for 12 years with my family. Our plot number is 181, and it’s near wings supermarket around 500m from the main road. I am a very social lady and business minded and get along well with fellow business mates.

My Business

I hold a business in Githunguri of selling second hand clothes which I started six years back. It has helped me educate and maintain my 3 children up to the university level as well as boosts my daily basic needs. The business is very profitable although I never lack some downfalls sometimes of capital. I have a lot of customers who rely on my second hand cloth. I deal with children wear, women wear and men wear. After buying the cloths I make them presentable to my customers and this attracts them.

Loan Proposal

the amount that will be granted will assist me in increasing my stock that is, buying more bales of second hand clothes and also introduce mens' clothing into the business as i am only dealing in ladies clothing at the moment.With such a wide range of selection, this will attract more clients hence i can be able to pay back the loan plus the interest. it will furthermore help me to further my childrens' education!

    Dear Lenders,
    Among other borrowers who are near my locality, I will also go to Githunguri hoping to meet Madam Wangari during the weekend. I hope to get some news then.
    I will update here immediately on the findings.
