I am Jerry Mutunga Mutua, I was born in Kitui central sub county, Kitui County, Kenya, in the year 1998. I currently live in the same location. I am a graduate in bachelor of science in environmental science with IT. I graduated from Maseno University in Kisumu, Kenya in the year 2022. Due to scarcity of employment opportunities in my country I decided to create an income generating activity which is a retail business. The business has been up and running since 2022, except for a few financial crises which I was facing during stocking and management before I met Zidisha
I am a committed business person with more than 4 years in retail business. I have learnt a lot from running my business, I understand ups and downs in business.
LAND AND CULTURE
Kitui is classified as an Arid and Semi Arid area, where annual rainfall goes to a maximum of 250mm and some areas 100mm, so this county is fragile, and not suitable for farming due to unreliable rainfalls.
People in my community are very peaceful and they preach love, peace and unity
MY FAMILY
I AM a family man with one boy and wife. My wife has not secured any job yet, she's a graduate in community health and development.This is why I'm working hard to make ends meet and cater for their needs.
HOBBIES AND INTERESTS
Community service, mentorship, Leadership and Administration, Teaching and Research
My business is situated in the same location as my residence, I have registered my business under the government of Kenya with the name HOTCIRCLE INVESTMENTS. My business deals with food and household commodities as a whole. I chose this business due to the lack of other businesses operating in my proximity, thereby having a bigger customer base.The profits I raise from my business are used to sustain my family and another percentage is invested back into the business. My business is currently working under the capital of $450 and makes an average monthly profit of $120. Having met Zidisha, I hope my business inventory will improve. Thanks to the Zidisha community for the support this time.
The reason why I'm applying for this project is to restock my business and increase the inventory because shelves are running low, in my previous projects I installed power back up during blackouts and I bought equipments for my shop.
This new project will boost my business capital ensuring that I won't run out of stock thus ensuring maximum profit, the profit raised from the business will be used to repay the loan,cater for my family needs and the remaining balance will be used for savings
Funds to restock my retail shop
