My names are LM. I am a female aged fourty three years. I am from Nakuru county. I completed my primary education in the year 1983 and was able to join High School in 1984

After completing my four years of high school l passed well and was able to join college. i did a certificate course and upon completion, I joined the dairy industry where I worked for several years. I quit employment after saving some money to start business and this is what I have been doing to date.

I am a business woman and have been doing business for the last nineteen years. I started business with some money from my saving during my employment period. I did this business for a period of five years and in the year 1999. Since the business had grown I felt the need to move to an open and better business premise which I did and I went to a bigger room in Koinange Street . It was when I was there that I decided to change my business after assessing what the people in that area needed. I switched to selling shoes and slowly by slowly the business picked up. I sold shoes for a period of four years. I got a better business premise in Naivasha central business area and immediately grabbed the opportunity and after some time due to the demand I mixed with other products like leather, and leather adhesives. The business grew day by day after the addition of the new customer. The business started going down after the sale of second hand shoes increased which were cheaper than the new shoes and hence the customers opted for them. When I was purchasing my products I came across plastic goods and due to the drop in business I decided to change the business which I am doing up to date. The business has picked and has a wider range of products than the other business I have done. Finally am feeling challenged due to this demand because I have never been able to meet it for the last three years I’ve been in this business and that’s why am requesting for financial assistance from your institution. Thank you in advance

greetings zidisha,I humbly request for USD 875 for my business.the motorbike will serve a great purpose in delivering packaging products for my business around naivasha town,kenya.Following the great increase of consumption of packaging products,i find it necessary to buy a motorbike to deliver products to customers with small to medium orders.The motorbike will easily access customers hence it will make my business gain competitive advantage among rival businesses.With the ease of accessing customers ,the customer wont find it necessary to come for the goods from my business premises hence creating convinience in serving my customers.Your contribution is greatly appreciated.thanks in advance.
