Hi lenders, im very grateful for the financial support you gave me. I purchased more tins of groundnuts to make me produce more jars of peanut butter. By having more tins of peanut butter means i'll get more profit from the sales. Before i used to produce 70 jars of peanut butter a week and that would give me Kes. 17500 but now i produce 100 jars a week and that would give me Kes 25000. Through this it has enabled me to take my children to the college. comment image
