About Me
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.
My Business
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.
Project Proposal
I want to set up a vegetable stall where by I will be selling all kinds of available vegetables. I came up with this idea after I noticed that vegetables are high on demand but there are no stalls around where I live.people have to cover a long distance before getting a stall to purchase vegetables. I will be visiting large scale farmers who grow vegetables in their gardens and select the kinds of vegetables I want and place an order then they will deliver to my stall .Once funded I will add the funds to the little I have to pay for my first stock and also to brand the stall.
