About Me

I am Christabel atieno Agik a Kenyan citizen who hails from seme kombewa in Kisumu county. am married with a daughter. I do business i sell soft drinks (sodas and chips).I am an O level and college holder. I specialized in IT. I started my business to sustain my family, I do farming with the profit that i make from the business, I like doing art work during my free time i.e weaving baskets and drawing to make extra money. i would also like to do rabbit farming in a large scale in order to promote white meat for a healthy living in my country especially my county.

My Business

I do a personal business in Kisian junction outside kisumu city, about 7 kilomiters from kisumu town. My business is situated along the kisumu busia High way known as Wayside resturant. i have many customers because i sell sodas and chips at a lower price than my competitors. My business is in a strategic place,clean and well organized so i make a good profit of Kshs.40,000 per month. The risk in that business is theft so i have to secure it well. I spend Kshs 70,000 per month on costs and Kshs.2000 on revenue respectively. If i get a loan from zidisha ill repay it through my business.

Loan Proposal

I wish to thank zidisha for the first loan they gave me. I payed it with alot of ease because i bought the chips fryer and i have improved alot in terms of my clients. I also started selling tomatoes to my clients who were coming in my premises.The demand has become high that i want to improve it by growing my own tomatoes from my farm. I take tomatoes from farmers at wholes price and sell them at retail price.I wish to ask for a second loan which i still believe ill be paying comfortably. Kindly if i get the loan of US dollar 306.00 which is equivalent to Kshs. 26,094, i will improve my business and also grow tomatoes which i can get directly from my farm and sell to consumers.
