About Me

My name is Purity Muthoni Karori. I was born in 1973 at Subukia at Nakuru County. I joined Meongoini Primary School and later joined Meningai High School for my O levels completing in 1990. I later joined Patmat College for a course in dressmaking and design. I worked with Bedi fabrics for 8 years until I decided to start self employment. I started a dressmaking shop in Nakuru where I make all sort of apparels, including school uniforms.

I am married and blessed with 3 children. My business does very well and it is from its proceeds that I was able to purchase a piece of land and put up a house where I live with my immediate family.

My Business

My business is located in Nakuru town in the Rift Valley of Kenya. This is a very busy town with so many inhabitants; this gives a good market for my products. I supply school uniforms to most of the schools and institutions around. Many people prefer my products because they are cheap and of good quality. I usually travel to the city of Nairobi to purchase my raw materials from the manufacturers and direct importers. This makes my products to be cheap while maintaining a high standard. The only challenge my business faces is lack of an electric sewing machine to simplify my production. With the Zidisha platform, I would be able to fulfill my dream of expanding my business.

Loan Proposal

I hope you all welcome again in my bids request, for this loan I am intending to spend whole US$450 to purchase an embroidery machine to make school logos in uniforms, I will also make budges and label for caps and brand company promotional t-shirts etc. initially, I have been contracting another firm to do the same which amounts to loss of revenue, It will just be a good thing to boost my business. This is a market that has a lot of potential and has not been well exploited by many in my locale. For this reason I will be able to increase my sales and make good profits which will help me to meet the running cost and that of my up keep. I sincerely say that I have improved my life since my first loan, I look forward for a continued good relationship.
