About Me

My name is Ernesta njeri mwangi I was born on 6th June 1977 at nakuru in nakuru county. I joined mwiruti primary school and later I joined st ann. Secondary school for my o levels. After school I joined Melvins College for a course in management. Afterwards I worked for various employers until I decided to start self employment. This came as an idea when I realized in had to take care of my parents who were know getting aged and could not go on with their farming activities I also needed money to educate my son since I am as single mother . I settled on a business of selling fresh fruits and fruit nectar juices. Look forward to be a zidisha member.

My Business

My business is located in gilgil town. Outside biashara plaza I am specialized in selling fresh fruits. I started the business after I realized there is great demand for fresh fruits and juices gilgil town is a very busy town with a great population making it a hub of good business in almost all fields. My customers prefer my products rather than those of my competitors because they are fresh and tastier I usually correct my fruits from fruit farms which are as far as muranga county. My business does well and I am able to provide for my aged parents and educate my son. It is also from its proceeds that I was able to contribute together with my other family members to buy a piece of land at the outskirts of gilgil town and built a semi permanent house where I live with my parents. I also supply my juices to the local hotels. Some of the challenges my business faces is luck of modern blending machine to separate fresh juice from pulp. With zidisha platform I will be able to overcome this challenge once and for all.

Loan Proposal

For this loan am intending to add more stock fresh fruits in my outlet. I am going to spend USD$ 120 to buy fresh water melons. USD$ 100 to buy fresh mangoes USD$ 170 on all ather assorted fruits eg pineapples, bananas, pawpaws, berries, apples oranges etc this will boost my stock hence my me some good turnover will rollover the profits for more profits. And once I hit my target in the first quarter of this year I will be able to renovate my shop as well as my house where I live in. mark you all these proceeds still helps me to educate my son who is currently in secondary school. I hope you will still be there to help me realize my life time dreams. Thank you very much.
