My name is Cecilia. I was born in Muranga county - in central highlands of Kenya. This is an agriculturally rich region and most people are farmers. The main crop grown here is coffee and tea as well as other food crops such as beans and potatoes. I grew up helping my parents in the fields.
I went to primary and later joined secondary school. I later did a course in sales and marketing before relocating to Mombasa where I joined my aunt who lives there. While in Mombasa, I did a short course in computer applications and with the help of my aunt, started a small shop where I sell mobile phone accessories.
As mentioned above, my business deals with the sale of mobile phone accessories. I sell items such as phone chargers, earphones, glass protectors etc. These items are very popular with the masses since most people in Kenya own at least one mobile phone.
I get my stock from large stores which sell the items at a wholesale price and then retail them from my shop.
Most of my clients are young adults who keep changing their phones and their accessories. I like this business because it allows me to interact with all sorts of people.
My second loan, just like the first one will be used to buy more stock of mobile phone accessories. I intend to buy phone chargers, earphones and phone covers with this money. These are the most 'sought after' items in mobile phones business since there are many users in my area. The items are also very affordable and they tend to move very fast.
I will be able to sell them at a good profit and use the income to expand my business even further. Thank you.
