About Me

My name is Sharon Olang, a mother of two children.My son is 8 years Old and in class 3 and a daughter who is nine 2yrs now. I am 34 years of age I am married and live in the rural areas of Kisumu now. I am the second born in a family of 7 siblings.I also do community development work supporting local organizations to take charge of their development needs.

My Business

I work as a project officer at a local community organization known as the Kenya Community Development foundation an organization that empowers local communities to take charge of their own development agenda.It is a full time employment. I joined the organization in 2017 April to date. I also do capacity building for local communities to mobilise different kinds of resources locally to implement their development projects.

Loan Proposal

The loan will help us purchase the jewellery and sandal making tools and materials at $50 .and support 3 youths at $100 to undergo a Trainer of Trainers training on jewellery and sandal making.
The three youths will then become the trainers of the other youths who would want to be trained.The balance of $100 will be used to purchase start up material for the jewellery shop and$ 30 will be for contigencies.The products made during the trainig will be sold out at $1.50.We project that the materials bought can make upto 100 pcs of jewellery which is a profit to the organization .The materials made from materials used during the 2nd training will also be sold out.This will form the 1st capital base for the business.

    DearMalibu, Paul and Logan,
    Thank you very much for supporting my project.
    I will use the money to buy construction materials to expand my poultry house.This will enable me to increase the number of chicken and have a cleaner and more spacious space for the chicken.Increasing the number of chicken will mean that i have more chicken to sell for meat, more eggs and the chics have a better place to stay when they are hatched.I will keep you updated on the progress.
    Thank you so much for the support

    I wish to appreciate the lenders who believed in me and supported my vertical bags garden.I increased my bags to six and I have had a stable supply of vegetables all year round.intact my family says they prefer the home grown vegetables to meat.
    I have also been able to sell the surplus vegetables and I make an average of 3200 per week,this year I saved 24000that helped me pay my sons school fees.
