About Me

My Name is Eric Wahu, I am 25 Years Old turning 26 in April.

I am from Nyeri, Kenya. I am have a Diploma in Supply Chain Management from KIPS Technical College and currently pursuing a Risk Management Certificate from the Oxford Home Study Center in the U.K.

I work as a Relationship Officer for an Insurance Company in Kenya and run a side business where i make Hand Wooten Mats using cotton wool threads and silicon meshes.

The business supplements my formal job's salary and assists with my studies as well as some expenses for my family back home.

My Business

Hand Wooven Mats.

I use Cotton threads and Industrial Silicon Meshes to create floor mats.

I sometimes use waste maize and sisal bags instead of the silicon bags.

Loan Proposal

I have a bigger order for a Kindergarten school where they would like 160 1.5m by 2m mats.

I am currently running low on funds and only have KES.7,000.00 of the KES.20,000.00 needed.

I need to buy materials and transport them to Nyeri where I live so that I can work on the order by 12th April, 2019.

Regards,
Eric Wahu.

    Thank you Taun, Oliver, Katherine, Lisa, Bing-Shu Pan and Griff.

    As I had indicated in my loan proposal I will buy the cotton thread and meshes and deliver the order to the kindergarten here in Nyeri.

    Again Thank you so much.

    The last loan really aided me with the transportation of the raw materials from the Capital City to Nyeri town. I was able to finish preparing the mats within 4 nights and delivered them on time. I even paid my loan earlier than I anticipated.
