About Me

My name is Edwin Mutta. I was born in Iringa Region, Iringa Urban District. I am 29 years old. Furthermore, I am currently self-employed and live with my younger brother who is in Form Five at a school here in Iringa town.

My Business

After graduating from college, I started processing hibiscus wine for home use and later for small parties in my community. My family, friends, and others who tasted my wine were very happy and also enjoyed the parties and ceremonies they were doing.
I process hibiscus wine, which I currently produce in a SIDO building. I distribute it mainly at various parties, including birthdays and graduations, but I also distribute it to shops here in Iringa town. Furthermore, I make production wine twice in a month, where I produce not more than 60 litres of wine each time. I wait at least three months before I pack, then distributing it to my customers in Iringa town. The profits I get from my business help me to meet household needs, especially food, water bills, electricity bills, and helping my younger brother with his school needs.
I would like to expand my business so that I can provide employment for my fellow youth here in town. And for the surrounding community to be able to access and enjoy the wine I make

Project Proposal

I request a loan of 100,000 shillings to purchase equipment and supplies for your hibiscus wine business. I believe this loan will help you increase your production, create jobs for people in my community, and improve the lives of their families.

    The loan will be used to purchase a hydrometer for measuring alcohol content and two 20-liter containers. This investment will increase production, enabling the production of standard hibiscus wine. Additionally, it will create employment opportunities for young people in my community, improving their families' quality of life. I wish to express my gratitude to you all for making this project possible
