About Me

I'm a single 22 years old, third born in a family of four from Sirisia village in Bungoma county western Kenya. I have been blessed by both parents who supported me with çare and also education where I started my primary education up to secondary education, but I didnt proceed due to lack of finance. One year after my education, I joined my older brother who was working in a slaughter in kasameni kwale county coast Kenya, and I work with him for one year. Due to work challenges like overworking and working during the night, I decided to start my own small butchery with small amount of money which I have invested and also a support from my brother. I like watching movies and listening to music during my free time.

My Business

I sell cow and sheep meat which is highly demanded, as big percentage of human beings use it as their best favorite food and also does not have a high competition, because it requires large amount of capital to start, so many people cannot afford it. I chose and like my business because it is non seasonal, it moves faster and has high profit. I spent my profit to support my parents ,to overcome my needs and to upgrade my business.

Loan Proposal

I have been working for a period of time with a lot of challenges as I was using the common knife to cut meat but when I get the first loan I was able to buy a cutting machine which has helped me a lot as it has make my work more easier saving my time and serving many customers at time so my sales increase in large percentage.the problem I have now is very preservation of meat as it is perishable and the weather in my working area is very hot so meat cannot go for a long period of time without coming bad so if I get this loan i will buy my own freer which will cost me $337 and will help me to escape charges of hiring.also it will help me to hold a large stock especially in these festive season of ramadhan Muslims holiday making a lot of income
