My name is Hanisen Borona from Nairobi city,Kenya. I am a juakali artisan in Nairobi.I was born and raised in Kilifi village before moving to Nairobi for business reasons. I grew up in a family of six children and i was the third born.My parents lost their lives while we were still young and therefore grew up at my grandparents home.My grandparents were poor and could hardly afford for our school fees.I myself could not go to school because my grand parents could not afford taking me to school.Another is that i was the first boy in our family and therefore my grandfather gave me duties which could not allow time to attend to classes.I tried though through thick and then and made it to secondary school but i did not perform so well and there was no money to father my schooling.I then started up a juakali artisan workshop in Nairobi where i manufactured metal and steel items and products.What is unique in my environment is that we the juakali artisans love their job so much.My children would like to have good careers.

I was unable to raise school fees to further my studies in higher learning institutions.I also did not pass well in my studies and therefore decided to start up a juakali (hot sun) artisan workshop.The workshop did perform so well the first year that i established it.I borrowed a friend loan to start the business and in addition to that , i also had some saving that i made from menial jobs i was doing before settling down to this jua kali artisan job.I learned the art of making metal and steel products from a friend who was an expert in this field and performed so well and even the profits that he made from his sales were high.I choose the business because i did not have enough fund and education to start up a big business venture.I operate on an approximate of two hundred dollars per month.I earn roughly Four hundred dollars daily after deduction of expenses.I save my profits but also use a portion of it as school fees for my children.

This loan will sincerely be of a great help to me.I am going to benefit greatly from this loan.i have a lot of plans on how to improve my business but i often lack enough funds to do all these are my savings fall far below the budget of doing all these improvements and changes that i want for my business.I want to uplift my business for an increment in the profits that i earn from my business.One of the things that this loan will help me achieve is expanding my workshop business premises.I want to expand the workshop business premises to allow me have enough space to showcase my products to the customers which are already made. I also want to employ more one person to help me with my daily work so as to be able to multiply the number of products that i produce each day.When i am done with all these, i expected a great profit from this business.I also expect a great demand in the market for my products.
