About Me
I am justine Opiyo,I am 28 years old married with one child,I went to Alupe primary school and Kolanya girls secondary school. I then joined Kenya medical training institute for diploma in clinical medicine ,which I successful completed.
I was not able to get a good job and after one year of tarmacking ,I finally got a job but my happiness was short lived since the NGO closed six months later due to mis appropriation and mismanagement of funds. I decided to go private and opened my own clinic with my $1200. The clinic is located in a slum where majority of the population can not access good health care due to extreme poverty. The business helps me earn a living as well as helping others and that gives me great joy.
My first born dont wants to be a nurse and my son wants to be a doctor. the love medical profession and I am doing my best to give them good health and education as well as conducive environment so that,They can achieve their dreams.
During my free days I organize for seminars to educate mothers on health issues and provide free cancer screening.
My Business
I provide health services,such as diagnosis,and treatment of various ailments as well as counseling..
The demand for these services is high due to overcrowding in public hospitals and poor services. I provide high quality services in my clinic at very affordable prices.
I choose these business to help other people in the slums since lives could be lost due to simple diseases like malaria and typhoid.
My typical costs for running the clinic is $400 per month and my typical revenues per month is $750 per month on average.
I use the money to pay fees for orphan kid I adopted,pay fees for my first born daughter and take care of my monthly basic needs and business improvement.
Loan Proposal
Dear lenders,Please advance me a loan so that I can buy new lenses for my microscope, the lenses fell in acid and got spoilt. I would add the $60 I would receive to my $100 saving to buy the lenses. Thank you in advance and be blessed.
