About Me

My name is Ruth wanjiku gituiria , I am a single mum of two lovely babies... my eldest is a boy his name is Andrew and his in class 3... and Lindsay my 1 year 3 months old baby girl.. I have done Diploma in library and information sciences and another in purchasing and supplies.
I am the third born in a family of five kids... I lost my mum when I was in high school and life has not been easy for me or my siblings but we have survived through God's grace.
My dad has been very supportive and now that we are all grown up we need to help him as well.. so my desire is to give my kids a happy wholesome life and help out my father in whatever way I can.

My Business

I've been in and out of jobs and it gets really hard when I do not have anyone helping me take care of my kids that I can trust.. and especially when I can not also afford to hire a help.
I want to start a fruit vending business as employment has been hard to come by for the past few months and I need money for upkeep and for my kids.

Loan Proposal

Hello lenders , am very grateful for the help you gave me to be able to start my fruit stand business and now i am back with a request that you would help me with a second loan.
I will use the 867ksh(9$) you give me to add to the profit i have of 11$ and get a small blender that i can use to blend fruits and sell as smoothies ... most of my customers have requested I prepare the smoothies as they are healthy,hygienic and very attractive especially packed in clear plastic cups so both adults and little children will love them.
It will help me sell in shops and offices at lunch time as the are easy to carry/distribute this will increase my sales /profit by at least 50% or more if all goes well

I want to start a fruit vending business as employment has been hard to come by for the past few months and I need money for upkeep and for my kids. I have managed to save up 1500/- (15$) and with the loan you are offering me I can add up to be able to start off my fruit business.
I will use 1000 (10$) to buy fruits on wholesale.. 500(5$) to buy packaging bags and takeaway packs for prepared fruits (ready to eat) and the remaining 500 (5$) I'll use to hire out a stand in my home town.


Hello lenders, first i want to thank you for the help you gave me... I set up my fruit stand and its been doing well... I however would like to add to the business by preparing fruit smoothies/juices so I would like to request for my second loan which is 900 (9$) I will top it off with some of my profit from the business and get the take away plastic cups and a blender

The blender is 20$ (2000) and with your help i can add the remaining 11$ and get the blender.... I will really appreciate your help
