About Me

hello lenders, I am githaiga Joseph aged 38 years. I am a family man with two kids-two boys. i am currently working with a local organization but also I have side jobs to earn extra income. I buy used and new cloths and shoes and sell for a small profit online.i plan to open a shop soon if I get some capital.

My Business

besides a salary I earn from my employer I also have small businesses to supplement on the income. I am engaged in selling cloth items at retail price.i buy new cloths and sell them through my friends and neighbors.basically it's a virtual boutique. Its a fairly new business venture but is able to bring some income and pay some bills.

Project Proposal

I plan to add the funds raised to buy new stock of cloths and second hand shoes. I usually buy the stock from Nairobi which is quite far from where I work so transport eats into some of my profits as courier charges. I usually sell the items online via my WhatsApp and face book pages since currently I don't have a premises due to high costs charged.
