About Me

I’m Edward Kinyanjui Njai, proud owner of a bookshop in Muranga. With 10 years of experience in the industry, I am passionate about providing quality educational books that cater to the needs of our community. My focus is on delivering excellent service and fostering a love for reading among customers of all ages. I believe in the power of education to transform lives and strive to create a welcoming space where everyone can discover the joy of books.

My Business

My bookshop in Muranga is a well-established business that caters to a diverse clientele, including students, professionals, and avid readers. We offer a wide range of books, including textbooks, fiction, non-fiction, children's literature, and reference materials. In addition to physical books, we also stock stationery, educational supplies, and gifts.

Our primary source of income comes from the sales of these products. We also generate revenue through special orders for rare or specific titles, book fairs, and events such as author signings and reading sessions. Additionally, we offer school and corporate bulk orders, which contribute significantly to our income. Our commitment to customer satisfaction and our ability to adapt to the evolving needs of our customers have been key to our sustained success.

Project Proposal

I would use the funds primarily to expand our selection of educational books, ensuring we have a diverse range that caters to all age groups and subjects. I plan to invest in popular titles and local authors to enrich our offerings. Additionally, a portion of the funds will go towards improving the shop’s ambiance, making it a welcoming space for readers.

    Thank you for all your contributions. I have cleared the loan early so that I may access higher credit limit to enable me purchase the book stock.

    Thank you for your generosity. I will keep you updated on the project progress. This is my first loan, I'd like to pay within the shortest time possible to increase my limit because I need more than this amount to fully fund my project.
