My name is Martha Chesang, i was brought up in a humble background at Nakuru Mogoon village went to Mogoon primary ,longisa high school then later after working as an untrained teacher and as a small scale farmer and was able to raise fees and went to Teachers trainning college.
After College i couldn't get a job and with the help of my parents i raised some capital and ventured into a posho mill business
My business is located in Mogoo village Nakuru town,Kenya.I started operating my posho mill in the year 2013.I started my business with a capital of Ksh25,000.My business deals with grinding maize and millet and i sell it in grade 1 and 2. The business is licensed and issued with a single business permit(annual license) and it is located strategically close to my customers.In a day i can serve more than 100 different customers because maize floor is a staple food in Nakuru.
In a clean month i can make a net sales of ksh.30,000.After i add more stock of ksh.15,000,pay my business permit of ksh.360,pay my home rent and electricity bill.I am left with a clean Ksh.3,490,being a net profit.
In a way of the zidisha microfinance supporting my business,i will be able to make good sales and i will also make good profit which will sustain my family living standards and also i will move to a permanent building and expand my business.Thank you Zidisha team
Given the first loan i will use it to restock more goods in my posho mill by including grinding of millet flour and sorghum floor in addition of the maize flours. Furthermore i will move to a larger room to accomodate the large number of my customers who increase daily. With this i will able to make a daily profit of USD 40 - USD 60.
Thanks to Zidisha
