My name is Wambua, a father of 4 children who are all in school. I am business man based in Mombasa. I was born in raised in rural Kenya where I grew up helping my parents in their daily chores.
I also went to school up to secondary school level and then decided to move to Mombasa city to look for a job. It was not easy to get a job without any professional training and I ended up as a hawker where I would sell small household items.
This is what I am still doing to date.
I sell small household items which I do in the streets of Mombasa. It is a modest job but I like it since it puts food on the table. I sell items like cutlery, combs, buckets etc. I also sell some hardware items such as electric bulbs and cables.
I normally get the supplies from big shops or second hand dealers and then sell them at a profit. I make about $150 which I use to cater for my family needs.
I will use the money to buy more hardware stock to sell at my stall. I have in mind small items like pliers, nails etc which will not cost much since this money is not much.
I will spend the additional income to stock more goods so as to accelerate the growth of my business. I hope to keep increasing my credit limit here so that I do a substantial investment with Zidisha loan.
Thank you for finding time to read my loan proposal.
