I am a young entrepreneur and a farmer, ambitious and hard-working. I ventured into business at a very tender age after discovering that i had great entrepreneurial skills, at that tender age I was able to clear college fee on my own. I am also a young mother to a four month old baby girl; she is my responsibility. Being a nurse by profession, entrepreneurship and farming has always brought an extra coin to the table. I come from a humble background and I believe in working hard and being a good example to others. I came to know about Zidisha from the internet and for the few months, I must say that i have made a family with zidisha and many friends who are also entrepreneurs. I am looking forward to create more opportunities all over the world
As a nurse I thought that the little salary I get wasn't enough to sustain me. I am a nurse by profession and the salary obtained is one of my sources of income. I have two salons which are not very active of late. I get few customers who are able to atleast help in the expansion of my business. I also buy second hand clothes then selling them at a profit. I have a grocery shop where I sell fruits, fruit salad, fruit juice and fried chips, this is my latest source of income apart from that, I am a poultry farmer, I am able to sell eggs obtained from the chicken, chicken and chicken products
I will use this loan to buy chick mash, layers mash and growers mash so that my chicken may grow in a healthy way. Each large pack of mash costs around 16dollars. The eggs obtained will be of significant importance to my neighbourhood people as this is the only place around which they can buy eggs in bulk at a relatively fair price. Each egg costs Ksh. 15 while a crate of egg costs Ksh.300. I expect that this time round, I will get much more profit as I have shifted my business to where my products will be needed in bulk.
