ABOUT ME

I am Agness Edward Mwakimonga, I was born in Mbeya region in a family of 3 children. I am 34 years old, I am married to a good husband and I have two small children.

I have always been passionate about making beautiful handwoven clothes for my family members and people in my community.

when I was 20 years old I opened a weaving project in my neighborhood where I sell the clothes I make myself.

MY BUSINESS

I started my business 14 years ago here in Tanga. I do my work at home. I sell clothes woven with cotton fibers and worn by women and men during the winter. people feel at home when they buy clothes from me.

i work every day from 10 pm to 2 am, including saturday and sunday.

I have many clients, and I communicate with them on WhatsApp.

my business allows me to earn a good profit that helps improve my family's standard of living.

I have many needs, which I cannot satisfy because I do not have enough time. I would like to expand my business to provide job opportunities for people in my community.

The funds will be used to buy more yarns, leading to expansion of the business whereby more workers/community members will be able to be employed and raise their income. And we will produce much more.
