About Me

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.

My Business

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.

Loan Proposal

I will use this money to buy a box of energy saver bulbs. These bulbs are fast moving I am hoping to sell them within a few days. I hope to repay this loan and get another one soon so as to enable me buy more items.
