My name is Pamela Ochieng. I come from Kisumu county in Kenya. Iam the first born in a family of 7, all alive with our last born still attending school.I work on temporary contracts as a counselor and majorly run a handworks shop in Ahero 17 km from Kisumu. Am a single of mother of three who are all attending school, single by circumstance not choice. Am a born again Christian and I serve in church as a construction treasurer and service lead, besides I also serve in praise and worship team, doing what I love most, I.e singing, playing guitar and piano.
I make money out of handworks which involves but not limited to shaggy mats, soft carpets. duvets, pillows, beadworks and traditional baskets. I also offer consultancy as a counselor especially in HIV/AIDS and study coordination.
With the additional 3300, plus my monthly savings of 12800, I will be able to buy a whole bale of ladies dresses which moves quiet fast, this is because most if my customers are females who always asks for dresses, so that as they pick households, they can also get their dresses, this will cost 95 dollars.I will also mange to get materials for duvet and pillows which has attracted even a greater market. From the dresses, I expect to make atleast 20000 and from duvets and pillow,10000, thus giving a profit of 14500. From this I will be able to pay 3000 for my children to attend a school tour which they have never had an opportunity to attend before. Al pluogh back 6000 and save 5500 for machine and loan recovery per week.
