About Me

i am an active Christian lady married with two children aged 9 and 14yrs respectively. I live in Ongata Rongai,Ngong division in Kajiando North county.I train weaving life skills in a Non-governmental organization dealing with women affected and infected by HIV/Aids within poor communities.I hold higher diploma in counseling psychology. Diploma in Biblical counseling and Theology respectively.What triggered me to start the business was due to low income and wanted to supplement my other family needs.I re-stock my business with earnings gotten from my business plus paying other pending bills.

My Business

I started my weaving business roughly two years ago .I deal with woolen rugs/carpets which are locally hand-woven. the demand for woolen rugs is because they are warm, unique and in different varieties unlike other local carpets,customers prefer woolen rugs because thy are long lasting and durable and they also do home and hotel decors.and they are also used in beaches for luxury purposes.the business is profitable as the demand is high both nationally and international , the risks encountered in this business are high cost of production , high taxes . in a month my sales are 30000 and my expenses are rent 4000, labor charges,10000 miscellaneous about 6000 i am left with a profit of 10000 pm

Project Proposal

I intend to increase my business by adding more stock to it. I also plan in renovation the work place a bit for attractiveness to customers. This will in turn give me more profit which will be very helpful to me in so many ways. For example, I will be able to pay me children's school fees with much ease and also buy house hold essentials. The profit made from the business will also allow me to add on more stock when the one I put finishes, therefore I won't be highly dependant on always asking for loans.Tyerefore I would highly appreciate.
