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

I will use my loan in the following ways...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.
