About Me

My names are Carolyne Lusinde Muhumbwa. I am a mother of one son who is 10 years old and I live in the area of Kawangware in Nairobi where I work as a Bus conductor for the K.B.S company.

My Business

I am working as a bus service woman, and I do the work of collecting fare or transport fee from commuters. I am employed by the K. B. S (Kenya Bus Service) company. I wish to train as a driver and take up the role of a driver because the job is better paying than my current job. I get paid on a daily basis, at a rate of about $15 per day and i pay my health insurance and pension scheme from my dues at the end of the month. I also have an ambition of setting up a small business to supplement my income because I am often free on days that I am not on duty. I plan to start and grow a small clothing retail business in which I will be buying and selling second-hand shoes and women's handbags.

Loan Proposal

I plan to use this starting amount as a way to build up my reserve to take up a driving course so that I can transit from being a bus conductor to a bus driver.

    Thanks a lot my lenders for the facilitation of this loan and the previous ones. I plan to continue using them to expand my business and later on I plan to upgrade my career from being a bus conductor to a driver by taking up driving classes. Thanks for helping me realize my dream. Thanks again.

    I am thankful to the lenders for the previous loans granted to me. I was able to get a few pairs of shoes and handbags, which I have sold to a few people at my workplace and in my local church. I have no permanent site for sales, I make occasional displays at local open air markets or hawk the items because the stock is not big yet. But I have been able to make some good returns and I plan to acquire more inventory and if possible rent a place where I can establish a permanent selling space and if possible have someone help me when I am on duty at my conductor job.
