About Me
Education was complete till college.i had a job but terminated.i later moved up country and started a boutique which was doing well till the economy got tough so I decided to try selling foods stuff. I opted for a mini supermarket since in as much as times were tough people had to feed.
This was a great since I have learnt to adopt a different life and view life a different perspective.
I have adopted the life here especially being a dry area and life is abit different from where I grew up. .Life has given me a different view and I am happy since this has made me realise me coming to this area has been a blessing in disguise. It has also given me an opportunity to reach alot of people.
My Business
I sell food stuff and general house hold stuff.
Where I live in Kitui it's a dry area. currently it's very dusty and hot till the November when it rains. We are forced to buy water at a high rate since the distance the seller's are using to go get water from dams is long.
The demand for 20ltrs jericans is high at the moment since people need to store more water.Thats the target I want to use and sell 20ltrs water jericans and the small buckets that can hold about 700 ltrs of water.
The samples are on my photo just at the background in yellow. .
Water is life and I have come to appreciate my background where I come from an area it rains everyday and now I live and married in a very dry area.I want to teach then the value of storing the little available water for longer and avoid wastage of time in the process of colleting water from long distances with donkeys with a few jericans by selling this jericans at an affordable price and consistence in availability so that they can get more water and find other things to do since they will have stored water.
Loan Proposal
I want to take advantage of the dry season in my area and Stock 20ltrs containers that are in high demand at the moment because it' takes long distance to collect water hence people prefer to go with many containers to avoid many trips with less water.
This is going to save alot of time and frequent trips to collect water and hence people can have time to do other works.
This will create change the norm that has been existing of people only buying jericans when it starts to rain on closer to the rain season. This can make them see the importance of pre planning and also time wastage.
