About Me

hi, my name is mercy wanjiku. i 'm in my thirty's.im the first born of two girls and one boy. my brother works in Nairobi while my sister is in high school.we are orphan our parents died some years back.i live in Nairobi capital city of Kenya,in thika superhighway a place called mwiki.I moved from Mombasa to Nairobi becouse of insecurity which was there seeing u can not stay in a place ever being warried what may befall ahead of us.l own my own business of selling secondhand cloth commonly known as mitumba in kenya
i went to school upto primary level than went to college where i did hair and beauty.i was employed at a salon for four year then i quieted to start my own business which i do up to date.im a mother of two children age between 12 and 4 respectively.my business is good though i need to expand it for more profit.my business provides for my family and i in every thing we need and i love it.my hobbies are singing,dancing,traveling and meeting new friends.i like also doing bussiness alot.

My Business

my business deals with selling second hand cloths.i sells for both men and women.i sells in parts,tops,top dresses and trousers.i do hawking because i do not have a permanent place or a shop.i goes door to door hawking because my customers are housewives and people with their business who can not get time of going to the marketplace.i started my business with a capital of 2000thousand ksh and has grown to a capital of 15000thousand ksh.my profit has increase also to 20000thausand ksh.this profit increase has motivated me to look for a shop that i will use to keep and sell other products and also keep new clothes.i continued with my business all along in Nairobi n it has been gud all through out the year.pls zidisha team i want to open a green groce now becouse in this month of january cloth bussiness is low bt pple need to eat rether than buying cloth.for me its a nice idea bt i dont have the all capital need to open one though i have the kiosk needed for bussiness.

Loan Proposal

one full baile of tops and add another stock of pants.one full baile of top is sold at 9000ksh which can double the profit of buying.i want to minimaze my spending so that i can be able to buy my own baile of pants.and i know with God nothing is impossibl.the profit from the pants is what we will be using for our daily needs while from the tops i want to save so that i can be able to buy also the baile of pants.thanks once again zidisha uve made my bussiness to expand
