About Me

I was named wanjehia by my humble parents who had four kids i included, i went to Mombasa Day Primary school, Kilifi secondary school and completed my education at form four level.
My father was a carpenter and after completing school i used to go to his workshop and assist him with the carpentry work, i worked with him for a period of three years, i had a target of savings certain amount of money that could enable me start my own business, after hitting my target, i went and leased a shop in town, bought a stock of shoes and started selling. I started the business of shoe selling in that manner.
My hobby is playing soccer, i play football mostly when i am free.

My Business

i sale shoes for both the ladies and the men, i buy the shoes at wholesale prices and then sale to my customers at retail prices.
This goods are useful because they help make our life's comfortable in that people can walk well with shoes on as opposed to walking bare footed, I chose to do this business because i realized that the demand for the goods was high.
I have been using the income that i get to support my business and also maintaining my living and livelihood

Loan Proposal

Thank you lenders for always believing in me. With the new loan, i will use the money to buy an Umbrella that will be used to cover me as i make and sale the shoes. A good umbrella will for for 40 us dollars. The loan plus my savings will see me through the purchase. I appreciate so much lenders
