About Me

I live in Mariakani in Mombasa county,i started my business of selling mattress in 2003 after my mother gave me the capital to start the business.My business is located in Mariakani. Am a single mother of a son.After six months of starting the business i bought a refrigerator which i use it to sale refreshments to schools and community gatherings. I love my business because it provides us with our daily needs. My hobbies are watching movies and taking my son to the beach.I will be grateful if i succeed to get a loan because i will be able to buy more stocks and expand my business and probably go back to school to get my Degree.

My Business

I sale mattress and and refreshments,i sale high quality mattress and affordable refreshments. I get orders for mattress in boarding schools and refreshments during communities events. I offer friendly services,i accept installment payments and free home deliveries of mattresses this puts me above my competitors.I earn $120 per month,i pay my monthly rent,transport,stock and am able to save little.I believe my business is profitable because since i started i have been steady with my income and i will keep you informed of my progress.

Loan Proposal

When i get this loan i will use it to buy a blender which is $50,i will use to blend fresh juice and keep it chilled then sale.It will help me move a notch high in terms of reducing the expenses i use to buy the ready made refreshments.I will be buying fresh fruits and blend them and also my customers will be able to chose the combination of fruits they want blended.

    Hello,
    I want to take this opportunity to apologies for late payment due to unavoidable family problems. However, i have made my payments and i have catch up with my outstanding debts. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. But what i have to note is, the volunteer mentor whom i was assigned to Mr. Samuel shehi, he said that he called me and i didn't picked his calls, this is a lie because he never called me even a single day! I saw his post on my loan page and i called him only for him to insult me! I admit i had been behind on my payments but that doesn't give him the right to insult me.

      Hellen,
      I'm glad someone alerted me of this informative post on me!
      Sorry for the trouble anyway. You should consider posting more often because from now on you're on your own.

      I intend to put more of my VM efforts working on 'needy cases.
      Good luck.

      VM Shehi.

    I phoned Hellen today at 10.10am . She did not pick my call. I have talked to her Community Leader though, who promised again to talk to Hellen and encourage repayments.

    I hope this time Hellen communicates with her lenders. I know Hellen's resident area too well and will only cost me $2 to check up on her physically but she has to be welcoming in the first place.

    VM Shehi.

    I started making and selling popcorns but due to the health requirements that a vendor needs to have a medical certificate allowing him/her to sale food or snacks,am now at a pause with the business, i have applied the medical certificate am now awaiting for the response. I will reduce my weekly installments for now until further when i resume.

    Hi Hellen,

    Nice profile you have put forward right here.

    Maybe a more cheerful photo of you at work will better your proposal.

    I hope you get funded quick.

    Success!

    Your VM, Shehi.
