I am Mercy Saidi. I was born in the western part of Kenya in the year 1992.I went to Booker Academy for my primary and secondary school studies.I later relocated to Eldoret for my degree studies.I joined Moi university where i pursued a degree in law and opted out after 3 years for a diploma in hotel catering and accomodation due to lack of school fees to complete my law studies.After my studies i was employed for 1 year in the hotel industry.In the year 2016 opted to be self employed and therefore opened a grocery store where i sell and supply fruits and vegetables around Bungoma town.Its a profitable business if well managed and i love how its adding value to my life.
I run a grocery store in Bungoma town.I sell and supply fruits and vegetables.My main customers are hotels and hospitals.I also do door to door deliveries for clients who are not able to reach the store. I make profit of up to 16,000 Kenyan shillings per week.
Demand for fruits is very high right now due to the outbreak of Corona virus.I have been running out of stock due to the high demand.With the help of the loan, am going to purchase a larger stock which will be able to satisfy all my customers fully.
Unlike most businesses,i must say my business is one of the few that are running. We are being urged to consume more fruits and vegetables by the doctors.Our main supplier are the farms.I can still access the farms and get the groceries to my customers hence making my business viable.Am making more profit since ave acquired more customers.With an increase in sales,i will be able to repay the loan.
