    This fund i will use it first to apply 2 licenses to continue allowing me to collect Garbage. 1 county government requires everyone collecting Garbage have this license which cost $180 yearly. 2 environmental body which is nationally environment management authority (nema) also requires me to have the license which cost $88 yearly. To me and my two workers while at work we must have a pair of gumboot ×3 costs 15, pair of groves ×3 cost $9, overall each cost $20×3. This will allow allowing to work stress free because i have done all this at once. The rest i will hire a truck which cost weekly $100 a whole day going house to house. I Thank all who has funded my loan, especially jesus figueres and Alex barocas may God bless you. I promise to pay back.

    My last conclude loan I used in starting garbage collection. I have managed to bring more landlords on board. To give them services in garbage collection in my area. This have made me to create jobs me and others 4 guys. Hiring truck a truck is still a bit challenging because the owner eats 65% income. But I still believe that I will own my truck.
