About Me
I have grown up in the rural areas of Murang'a county and despite various challenges on my path, I success managed to excel in my secondary education then later was employed. I moved to Githurai and used part of my salary to pay for my tertiary education in sales & marketing. After successfully completing my tertiary education, I continued working and saved most of my salary with plans to start my own business. I later got married and started my business which is based in Githurai and it involves selling vegetables and fruits. I am blessed with 2 children who are both attending school within the community. When am not working, I like taking out my children for swimming because it makes me relax after busy week at my business.
My Business
My business is based in Githurai and it has been in operation for over 3 years and it involves selling fresh fruits and vegetables to local residents. I started this business because of passion for good healthy which I have always dreamed for my family and wanted also to share with my community members. The profit which I get from the business is partly used to expand the business as well as to offset family expenses. I kindly request for your support as I expand my business to offer fruit salad and juice and this is due to high demand from the student of new established community college.
Loan Proposal
I am grateful for all lenders who contributed towards my first loan which enabled me expand my business and now I wish to introduce a refrigerator which will enable me to serve my clients with soft drinks as well as store my fresh fruit juice thus minimizing spoilage. The refrigerator will cost $ 145 and I have raised $ 55 from the proceeds thus am appealing to Zidisha lenders to contribute towards my loan. After buying the refrigerator the loss from fresh fruit spoilage will reduce as well as increasing my sales by serving my clients with cold drinks. It will create employment opportunity for a local person as well as increasing my monthly proceeds thus improving living conditions of my family.
Thanks in advance for considering to contribute towards my loan.
