School fees for my daughters

About Me

I was born in Nairobi, Kenya in a family of eight. My father is a retired civil servant. The retirement forced my family to relocate to our rural home, where I joined Lwak primary school. The free primary education program had not started then and with my fathers' pension of 40 dollars per month and eight children to support I was in and out of school. I settled with myself that I had to excel in education for me to make it in life. I was crowned the best student In the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education in my school .I Joined Moi Girls Eldoret Where I got sponsorship, then Masinde Muliro University, with the help from the government disbursements to needy students (HELB), I was able to finance my college education and graduated. Employment in Kenya was not forthcoming, thus I followed my passion for entrepreneurship. I would buy curtains from second hand market in Gikombaa and sell. I later got a contract from (IEBC) the election body in Kenya for the 2013 elections. I got 30 dollars which I saved to buy a motorbike and borrowed the rest from a cousin whom I repaid in installments. This is run by my orphaned nephew who remits 3 dollars every day, the excess he uses for his own needs. Motorbikes are widely used in rural Kenya, which are inaccessible due to poor roads, thus presenting an opportunity to invest. I would not like my children to experience the kind of life that I did. My first born would like to be a journalist when she grows up and I am determined to make her dreams valid.I purpose to sharpen my entrepreneurial skills and make their future better and brighter and make them financially independent, realizing their full potential through innovation and entrepreneurship hence solving problems. I wish this for women in general by initiating several groups (chama) for savings and investing.

Loan Proposal

Dear lenders I would like to have this loan so that I may be able to pay school fees for my children and buy other school materials that will be needed for this term. Their school fees totals to 145 dollars which include meals in school during lunch and the other items needed such as books, uniform ,biros ,pencils, book covers and other miscellaneous materials which in total will cost approximately 58 dollars.
This will give me satisfaction as a parent as my children will be able to attend school comfortably without any problems and I will be able to have peace of mind and concentrate more on other income generating activities to make their future better. In the past they have been in and out of school due to lack of school fees hence this money if you lend me will assist in keeping them in school hence better performance in class.
I would like to invest in my children’s future because they are the leaders of tomorrow and I wish to see them prosper and have a better life than I managed to have my self so that they may be able to assist others in their generation and make a difference in people’s lives.
