My name is Jackson waititu njogu. I was born in 1978 at olenguluone in Nakuru County. I joined olenguluone primary school for my early childhood education from Nursery school to std 8 completing in 1991 in the year 1992, I joined molo academy for my secondary education completing in 1995 After school I was employed by municipal council of Nakuru as a junior clark where I worked for 6 years untill I decided to start self employment. I started a grocery shop in ponda mali estate in nakuru which I operate up to date.
My business is a grocery shop which I started in 2008 with my little savings from my previous employment in the municipal council of Nakuru. In my shop I sell all kinds of essential commodities e.g. sugar, salt, soaps, rice etc, I also sell green vegetables, tomatoes, kales, spinach, raw bananas etc. my business does well because I get good proceed to take care of my family and to educate my two children. Decided to keep such a business after I realized there was great demand for essential commodities in my locale. Initially people used to travel to town for the same while incurring the cost of travelling. Some of the challenges I face, is luck of enough capital to add up on my current stock to meet the ever increasing demand. I believe I can fulfill my dreams with zidisha platform.
Thanks to you all my lenders, my first loan was so helpful to my business i was able to record tremendous growth to my business in terms of profits from increased stock that i purchased with the money. This second loan, i am intending to purchase more stock of fresh vegetables and fruits for sale in my shop these produce will increase my profits three fold. thank you all in anticipation as you contribute towards filling my bids.
