About Me
My name is Wambua, a father of 4 children who are all in school. I am business man based in Mombasa. I was born in raised in rural Kenya where I grew up helping my parents in their daily chores.
I also went to school up to secondary school level and then decided to move to Mombasa city to look for a job. It was not easy to get a job without any professional training and I ended up as a hawker where I would sell small household items.
This is what I am still doing to date.
My Business
I sell small household items which I do in the streets of Mombasa. It is a modest job but I like it since it puts food on the table. I sell items like cutlery, combs, buckets etc. I also sell some hardware items such as electric bulbs and cables.
I normally get the supplies from big shops or second hand dealers and then sell them at a profit. I make about $150 which I use to cater for my family needs.
Loan Proposal
I will spend this money to get more stock of hardware items to sell. I will get more rakes, spades and hammers which I will then sell and make more profit. I am working very hard and I hope with time, I will be able to rent a better structure for doing my business since I am now doing it in an open air place. This is not easy because I expose the items to the elements and this degrades their quality.
Thank you.
