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.

    Thanks to you all my lenders for accepting to fill my bids on time. I now have a chance of procuring a brand machine to squeeze juice out of sugarcane. This juice has become very popular among my customers. Since i will do it very professionally it will be nutritious and tastier especially when mixed with other juices to give a perfect cocktail. I will also be able to supply it to most hotels in my locale for resale to food eaters. It will definitely have a positive impact to my business, thanks once more to all of you.

    I take this opportunity to thank all my lenders for taking me this far. I am now a proud person for establishing such a great cooperation with you people. My Juice and soft drinks business as of today would not have moved with great acceleration were it not of your great generosity. As a reason, my business has recorded a tremendous growth since my first loan through this platform. I have been able to educate my son and he is now in form two. I have also been able to open another juice and soft drinks outlet which is equally doing well and I have never strained in paying my bill so is my upkeep, May I say generally I am doing well. In my next loan I am planning to refurbish my new outlet and procure a brand new machine for squeezing sugar cane juice which is becoming more popular among my customers. I urge you to keep on supporting me in realizing my life time dreams. Thank you all.

    i take this opportunity to thank all my lenders for their continued support. my business has been able to reach this peak due to your generous lending. my previous loans have made me record good profits and i am now a proud owner of a piece of land where i am intending to build my own residential house to live with son. I am intending to buy a modern juice extracting machine together with a mixer to make my juices even more testier and attractive as i seek order in leaning institutions for greater production which will read into more profits. i have been able to get more orders of fresh fruits from many people in my locale. thank you so much and god bless.

    Thanks to all my lenders for your continued support, it is your help that has made my business survive all this long. before joining zidisha my business was performing below standard, i never used to have a modern juice extractor nor a large variety of fruits to sustain my customers demand. with my first loan i was able to purchase a Ramtons extractor and increased my fruits stock with almost all types of fruit in my locale. thanks once again. my family are proud of you too and my son is doing well in school because i am able to pay for his lunch and milk programmes making him a very healthy boy at all times, i urge you continue supporting me and God will bless you as well. all the Best.

    Thanks my lenders for your continued support, your past loans have been very helpful n my business and i have been able to record tremendous growth in interests. this loan will help me to expand to the near by town of Nakuru where i am intending to open another fresh fruits and juices branch. the branch will be operated by my sister who is currently living there. Nakuru town is a major financial center and a county headquarters. by doing so i will reap the benefits threefold. i ask for God favor and guidance for accepting to fill my bids..

      Hi Ernesta, thanks for your message, I'm sure all your lenders wish you the best and every success in your business. I pray you are able to continue selling fruit and juices and later expand your range and customer base should you wish. Personally I will be happy to support you in any future expansion so please do not worry.

      On another note I'd love to know how you make your juices, is it popular in Kenya to add sugar or honey as it is here or do most people like just juice?

      Be blessed and good luck
      Greg
