About Me

My names are Lilian wahu Njuguna,from Kikuyu Kenya...I have a diploma in Food production from Nairobi Aviation College.. am also a recording gospel artist with Fullhouse Music Kenya...
I've always had a passion for cooking, baking most especially, I love the results, and seeing someone enjoy a cake or bread I've made has always been rewarding for me...when they ask for the recipe, now that's a trophy for me!
My first baking lessons were from my mum when I was a little girl, she would mix her ingredients with just a cooking pot and spoon and I always enjoyed her cakes through her I learned some very priceless baking tips that I still use to date...so getting a chance to join College later on in life was a dream come true for me.
I Learnt all I could, collected a dozen recipes tried and tested all of them, kept the really good ones.. my friends and family constantly asked me why I didn't sell my cakes so after praying and working towards achieving my dream I started selling my cakes and the response was good.
After I cleared and graduated I didn't get a job as I expected so I decided to bake from home and later my friend helped me create a page called Delight Pastries 'n' cakes on Facebook ... Which is up and running and doing really well

My Business

(2021 loan application)
Hello everyone!

The last time I was here was way back when.
Happy to report that I finished the kitchen, bought mixers, ovens, and grew. Not so much but a lot changed. I've had busy times and I've had slow times especially because of Covid.

It has ruined a lot of growing businesses and honestly, that's why I'm here looking for help. I still bake from home, my online presence grew, I also started doing farmer's markets but that's slow for now and so I only do It whenever possible.

Hoping it gets to pick up from December

So here is my loan breakdown
I would like to buy stock for my business> 25000
Pay for Markets attendance and transport >14000


I would have done much more with a lot more money, but I'll pay up fast and hopefully be able to do much more.

Why should you help me out?
First, I need your help
Second, I always pay my loans no matter the hardship.
Third, I haven't borrowed here in a while, and am excited to have a chance to pay it forward. That's a really awesome way of growing each other.
Fourth, what's left for me right for me right now, is giving up, and I don't want to do that.

Loan Proposal

Hello lenders,
This is my second loan request am thankful to God for healing me and helping me work and earn even the money to repay my first loan.... much earlier than planned.
I would like to request a loan of 41thousand kSH which is 490$ to buy my own laptop of 25thousand kSH which is 300$ and a table top oven of 16thousand kSH which is 190$
This will help a great deal in increasing sells as I advertise on my page,create a website and also do some part-time article writing
which will help me pay my assistant well and on time and repay this loan much quicker(hopefully earlier)
The table top oven will be quicker than the traditional Jiko(cooker) I use at the moment which will make a huge difference in time consumption,so il save time and money and do a better job.
I have been faithful in my previous loan repayment and will remain faithful even in this second one,I will greatly appreciate your help and support,thankyou and God bless you
