About Me

I am Wambui ndungu , a mother of eight children.i was born in Muranga county and later on we moved to ngarariga village. i joined bibirioni primary school and i completed up to class seven.I din't join the secondary school since i was raised in a humble back ground.I joined the business world.A friend of mine give a thousand shilling. so I started simply by selling fruits and vegetables in an open air market and the returns has helped me in various ways.The place where i am now is a cold place its a high land and its a good place for growing vegetables.my fist born is a masonry and the rest are pursuing teaching ,engineering ,carpentry respectively. My hobby is sewing pullovers.

My Business

From the time i started selling fruits and vegetabls i have never ceased ,may be in some occasions. I normally sells pears , spinach,kales and other fruits in the season .In each an every day people must feed so my goods are always in demand. Each an every day people must come to the market and buy the vegetables.I fetch the vegetables from other farmers and later i take them to the market.During the market days, i make an average income of $50 per day. the money i geti spent it on school fees and feeding my children and i have two orphans who were left after my daughter died out of cervical cancer.

Loan Proposal

Dear lenders
I would like to buy a calf of $80.I will rear the calf until it matures.later i sell it for meat.I have realized that i have a lot of feeds that i normally waste instead of wasting it, i will use it to feed the calf and it will give me good returns once the calf matures and sell it to slaughter house.

    Ms Ndungu requested a variation to pay off the loan a little later as she needed some flexibility. Despite the request being approved, and giving her until June to pay the loan off, Wambui fully paid out the loan 22 February. That is, well before the original deadline, and more than three months earlier than the extended term!

    A very positive experience for us as lenders, and hopefully also for Wambui! Well done!

    G'day (Hi) Wambui

    This loan represents some money (Christmas) that could have gone to four little ones. They'd be eager to see the calf you buy and what you call it. Happy Christmas to you and your little ones.
