About Me

I went to shalom primary school in Thika and after completing class eight i went to nyeri girls high school,my parent struggled for all of their children to get educated,although they did not not have decent job.after finishing high school i did not pursue education further due to lack of money.I joined church choir and practice more about singing because that was my talent.After some few months we met with a good Samaritan in church and helped me start my business,and the good Samaritan his now my husband.Many people in our community believe that they cannot do without a business.Iam blessed with two children.Our first born wishes to become a doctor; the second born a nurse.i like singing in church and wedding gatherings.

My Business

I buy farm produce from farmers and take them to the market and sell them at a profit.Farm products are in high demand because every person has to eat so that he or she can survive.i decided to do this business because it had ready market and i was buying in good price at the farm and sell them in the market at a good profit. i buy produce worth 30000ksh and make a profit of 10000ksh in a week.the profit i make i save 10% for my future expansion of my business and the remaining i pay school fees for my children and also use in my basic needs.

Loan Proposal

I want to buy buy three crates for carrying tomatoes to the market,one crate is sold $15,so i need $45 to buy three crates,buying this crates will make buy more produce from the farm and this will increase my profit by 15% and also my customers will have enough produce to buy.
