I am aged 26years. A Kenyan by nationality,living in nakuru county.I did my o level in 2006 then joined National youth service school of catering where I did food and beverage production service and sales craft level. I did my first job at Samburu simba lodge for 1year 4 months, having acquired skill in the hotel industry and seeing good potential in establishing my own business in the same field, I quit the job and started a fast food outlet which am operating till now. I use my earnings from the business to purchase better equipment i.e fridge,oven, microwave in order to satisfy the increasing demand of my customers. The remaining amount caters for my personal needs like food,clothing and shelter.The rest of my savings goes to education to advance my knowledge. I am currently pursuing a diploma in food production and hotel management.
The business has been doing good although some challenges i.e.Inadequate capital to improve my business.Equipment shortage e.g better oven, microwaves, gas cooker etc that will help me improve the quality of my food These are the 2 major challenges that am facing currently. I humbly request for a loan in order to work on the mentioned challenge s to meet my target and meet my demand to my customers , i make around 20000sh to 25000sh in a month, am focused and working hard to gain more experience and also to enlarge to a reliable business.
I must admit that am very grateful to the entire Zidisha community and lenders, for the great support that i have received through my previous loans.I am in need of a freezer and an oven in order to improve the restaurant productivity in both quality and quantity. This will cost me $270 for the freezer, and $300 for a bigger oven so with your help of $500, i will add $100 from my savings and buy both items. I am proud to say that through the income i get from my restaurant, i am able to improve and expand my business, offer my two siblings job opportunity since they work in the restaurant, and at the same time pay school fees for my youngest sister who is in her final year in college studying a course on hospitality. I promise to use the fourth loan responsibly and regularly update you on the progress of my restaurant. Thanks.
