About Me

Gor Benard Ouma is a christian man married to one wife and are blessed with 2 daughters and 1 boy. We have also adopted 1 orphaned boy from my in laws. I grew from a humble background, my father who only reached grade 5 worked as a sugarcane weeder in sugarcane plantation but grew in knowledge of sugarcane growing until he became a supervisor in the sugarcane our growers section. Unfortunately when the company collapsed in 1987 we had no option but to go back to our rural home in Ndhiwa, Homa Bay district. We had to start from scratch and this didn't enable us get good schooling. I tried and passed averagely and went to secondary school where I also got an average pass. I got married in the year 2004 in a small church wedding, we had nothing in our hands to start with because I had no job at that time and the following day my wife started selling Mandazi's and locally made brown sugar to a primary school next to where we were staying. We grew from that to finally starting a tailoring shop with some little cash that I got from riding a boda boda motorbike. We have grown from that to the business you now see.

My Business

We have a tailoring and dressmaking shop and also sell basic goods in our shop. The shop is at the bus stage where customers need these small basic fast moving goods. These goods and nature of their movement gives us good revenue that helps us educate our children, improve our business and carter for our health care. We have also integrated soft drinks and clean safe water since Mbita is of high temperature and therefore people working in the sun would want cool their thirst.

Loan Proposal

I used 0.12 dollars to buy clean safe water in Jerricans and sell in cups. This is just part of my business because it is first moving. People who work at the bus stop work in the sun and hence need of much water. I'll use the same because the money is still little to purchase clothes. The $ 1 will still purchase Water in Jerricans and sell in cups and this would give $ 7 in 7 days. Additional $ 11 will be used to purchase 1 crate of 500ml coca cola soft drinks which will earn me $ 9 in 7 days. I will by the end of the week have accrued $ 20 after expenses in transportation and my family upkeep.
