About Me

I am a 37 year old lady,I have three children of my own,one girl and two boys and one adopted boy. They are aged,2,9 and 16 and 14 systematically. I am married and we live together in a two bedroomed house as earlier described. I am a trained HIV counselor and I have also trained in home based nursing care. The reason I haven't gotten a job in this field is because I haven't collected my certificate after completion of the course,as I still have a balance of shs.17000. Apart from that,I have other skills like hair dressing and beauty ,which i have learnt overtime from watching othet skilled people and eould have loved to do it professionally,but couldnt raisr the funds.Well my main passion lies in sales and marketing and I love to do my own invented work. I sing too,although I haven't had the chance to sing professionally.

My Business

I started my business in 2011 after quitting my research job where I was an interviewer,travelling around Kenya and my husband wanted me to settle down and be more around the kids. I sold my sofa sets and started operating on door to door doing beauty, facials and nail care to my clients. I also did wedding make up. we later moved to wangige but by then we were living in Riruta satellite which is also my home area. we were financially down then so I had to sell most of my beauty stuff,but continued doing nail care and occasionally here especially dread locks to make ends meet. i t was tough as I was also expecting my baby girl and the pregnancy was complicated. I developed sciatica which really limited me to do much. actually I stayed in for almost two years. I went yo work for a company selling shoes called wide shoe but maids have been a thorn in the flesh very frustrating, so I decided to quit employment and give my time to my own business since I am also good in sales. I have decided to incorporate general shop,green grocery with dairy products, a quick snack bar,that is make tea and sandwiches, and continue doing nails and massages now that I have a body massage machine on the side. I also intend to add more products like clothes and shoes as this will help me make an extra buck because my son is going to form one and I still haven't made any savings in readiness.

Loan Proposal

When I started,I was making tea and snacks,but I have added chips and smokies and some boiled foods like beans and maize(githeri) and my customers don't have a place to seat as they eat,hence I want to buy some portable seats and table plus an outdoor umbrella so they I can also attract more customers. There's also not much space inside the shop, so I need this portables so they can seat outside where its also fresh and airly.
