I am a housewife, my name is Rati Purwati. I come from a modest family. Everyday, I sell snacks, breads, and cakes for the school students near my store. I life in Makale town, in Tana Toraja, which is very popular for its tourism.
My business is very promising, as it's located near 2 very crowded schools. I have been running this business for 3 years. I always want to expand this business, even though I do not have enough capital to do it.
I am using the proceed from my business to pay for my living expense and my children's school fee. I hope that someday, I will be able to get more capital to purchase more equipment, such as mixer, blender, and shelves to display the snacks. I got to know Zidisha from my friend, hence I am very interested to request a loan from Zidisha, since the terms are very easy compare to banks and other financial institution.
I would like to request $150 to purchase more equipment and ingredient for my snacks and cake, since for now I am doing everything manually with my own hand. With these machines, I will be able to increase my production. I can generate sales of $15 every day, except during holiday or weekend, where it's only $10. My cakes and snacks are always finished by the end of my business day. From the sales, I can earn net profit of $5, hence I should be able to pay for my loan at the rate of $10 per week.
I will use this loan to purchase ingredients, such as:
Flour 50 kg $36
Eggs 10 kg $25
Butter 5 kg $7
Rice Flour 20 kg $14
Corn Flour 10 pax $5
Sugar 25 kg $19
Starch 5 kg $3
Soft drinks (bottled) $43
Soft drinks (glasses) $35
The availability of above ingredients will help me to increase my production and consequently my sales. I believe this loan can make a difference in the future of my business. I hope that kind donors will extend the loan to me just as they have to other Zidisha members.
