About Me

I am a 30 year Old Born in Meru. I schooled for both my primary and secondary education in Meru and later joined Mt. Kenya University in Thika Town where i did Diploma in Community Development and Social Work graduating in 2013. My family were not in formal employment in fact they were struggling to bring us up and seeing all they went through to provide for us and make sure we went to school i promised to give it my best and make sure i do well in my education. After my graduation i moved in with my boyfriend who in September 2014 gave me about $200 to start a business since getting employment was not easy. I invested the whole amount in second hand cloths and beauty shop and i am now happy trying to grow my business. We are blessed with two children a girl who is 9 years and a boy who is about 4 years now.

My Business

Since i was young i liked being neat and while in school i would always look for unique items to put on. It was from this and after sharing my idea with my boyfriend, now my husband who had also noticed my liking for beauty products that he decided to fund me with about $200 to start a beauty shop. I started small where i bought some few beauty products combined with ladies second had clothes. Due to my commitment and passion for this line of business it has been growing at a commendable pace. My customers like me and my husband also likes visiting my shop because he say he finds me funny selling and negotiating prices with my customers.

Loan Proposal

I will use the entire loan amount of $545 to pay for my school fees. This will give me ample time to concentrate on my studies and running my business of which the proceeds i will be using to repay your loan.

    Thank you for accepting to led to my project. My husband and I are going to use the funds in starting a hardware shop business through combined efforts within the outskirts of Nairobi as we continue on working on improving the family income. This will definitely take us as a family a step ahead, because increased income means better lives for not only us as a family but also those we are going to employ in helping to run the business as well the community around us.

Your funding has enable my shop to grow whereby am able to make sales of about Kshs. 50,000/= per week, with the profits averaging at about 30% of the sales amount. I have reinvested some of this extra profits in expanding the business as well as helping in footing the family bills. We are now doing well as a family, thanks to you, and have managed to take our kids to even better schools.
