About Me

I was born in Transnzoia county being the first born in our family of 6 children.I went to kipsaina primary school before i joined st Joseph's girls high school. Due to high cost of living my parents were unable to rise my fees and I had to drop out of school. I started growing vegetables and sell them to the nearby markets of which I saved at least 40%of my income. I decided to start my own business of buying furniture from Carpenters and sell them to people in town. As there was higher demands in the city than in my locality,I moved to the city where am still running it and is doing well. People in my area are very generous, religious and social. I would like my children to be business minded ready to serve the society and believe in God .

My Business

I sell furniture like tables, cupboards,wardrobes and wall units which I buy in wholesale from Carpenters and sell them to customers in retails I chose this business due to its high demand and profit returns. Since i joined zidisha my business has generally uncreased changenged my life as my profit has increased due to more stock have and sell i sell them to my customers at relatively low price compared to other sellers.In a good week now I spend $300 in buying furniture and sell them making a profit of over 45% and this has greatly improved through you support on my first loan that i was able to clear it on time.I use the profit to grow my business, pay rents, buying my daily needs for my family and pay school fees for my children and my brother who is to join the university.

Loan Proposal

Am extremely happy seing my business moving to another level through your support. My first two loans have been of great impact to my business. Am opting to expand it even more by adding more stock to it by buying the following goods
$150 will buy cupboards
$150 will buy tables
$100 to buy decent stools
$100 to buy wallunits and $90 to buy beds.This will grow my business to greater level and increase my profit by over 40%which will defiantly change my life and be able to provide for my family need and even pay for my young brother school fees who joined the university this year efficiently. Thank you all and be blessed.
