My name is Labi Martin Ng'ocha, a bachelor degree holder in accountancy,
I am a small business owner,
I deal with home made natural soap, scrub and lotion, and sell them to the customers near my home, the business has enabled me to pay the rent of the house I live in, I take care of my mother and my 5 younger siblings through this business, I fell in love with skin beauty after going through the challenge of skin on my face in 2018, I had acne that cost me many types of cosmetics to no avail, then I started making natural products to try to treat my skin and eventually I recovered, through that people around me wanted to know what I used to heal my face? then I started to prepare soap and lotion for them so that they can take care of their skin, I decided to register myself with official training here at SIDO so that I can make it with more understanding.
I am involved in the production of natural soaps, lotions and scrubs that I sell to people in the neighborhood at home and others through the Internet to those I studied with, others through my clients who usually connect me with their relatives, I work with my younger brother whose job is to deliver products to our customers as well as sending to bus stations when it happens that the customer is far from my region, our goal is to get a frame so that we can put our products in a shop where we will be able to serve customers easily and also the expansion will help many people with skin problems to get it easily as well I need to buy a small machine to mix raw material so that I can produce products in large quantities because now I use a stick mixer to mix and thus it leads to producing fewer products, but I will also be able to increase employment opportunities in my community, there are many people who suffer from skin problems, to have an official location of business will help my community easily and even those who are far away I will be able to produce and sell them at a wholesale price so that they can sell and earn an income that will help their communities in their areas.
Thank you very much for your loan of 250000, it will help me rent a frame as well as buy a raw material mixing machine. It will help to increase enough raw materials to produce products in the business.
I will use it to rent a building for selling my products so that I can easily serve people and it will also help my community find jobs a sales unit, I will be able to produce products more easily than now I produce in the living area. I will shine to produce by adding generating raw materials and I will be able to provide my community with employment unit.
