About Me

I am from a family of 8 people, i happen to be the 6th born and the last born, my Father died when i was 5years old, My Mother became the bread winner, she used to do small business to ensure that we at least have something on the table at the end of day. I managed to go through primary and secondary school. during holidays and weekends i used to help my mother in her bussines, that is going with her to the market to sell or go a different market as she goes to another one. from this i learnt a lot from her and after high school i started my business of selling avocados.
I like travelling, adventure, learning and trying new things .

My Business

I deal with fruits, majorly ripe Bananas, am stationed in Eldoret. i settled on fruits because its part of human diet and people eat on daily basis and they also offer vitamins to human body.
This business has helped me to re-invest on it since i started with 1 banana and i now sell up to 30 at the same time it settles my bills.

Project Proposal

I will use the funds to expand my place of work...that is making more ripening boxes since the demand has also increased with more customers. being a rainy season in my area, I will also use the funds to roof the place well to avoid water from getting inside the bananas.
Thanks.

    In the last project i used the money to buy more stock that has yielded well, making me to need more for expansion of the store and the boxes that i use for ripening

    i will use this amount purely for my business, to increase my stock that is buying green bananas from farmers and ripening them to sell while ripe at wholesale

    The first project funds was used to add stock to my business that is ripening of bananas and selling them at a wholesale price. my interest increased by like 5% and i believe this one will improve more.
