My names are mercy Ndwiga,I was born in Embu county,in manyatta division,kibogo village.
I started my education at kibogo primary school and attained a B plain,then I joined ngoviu secondary school and attained a C+,then I stayed for 3 years just helping my parents at home because there was no money for me to continue to college ,then I decided to go to the city with my cousin who by then was working in a company,I got a job earning 3000 less per month,while working I got married to my husband of whom we were working together,We were blessed with 2 beautiful daughters.
During this time life became so difficult because stopped working to take care of my children and my husband was earning little money which will not cater for our needs as a family,therefore I decided to start a small business of selling cakes near the road where I was staying,I continued step by step until I got some money to buy small machines to make cakes and sell up to date,I use my profit to improve my bakery and do so investment at home.
As I have mentioned above things were not going well when I got married,also due to low income that we were getting was very low,this is the time I decided that I rather do something to to help my husband to generate some more income to push us forward,I started buying some cakes from kayole wholesale and selling them in donholm,I did this for 6 years until I got I shop in donholm phase 8 where I was selling from,My husband gave my some to buy a small machine to start making cakes in my shop and selling them to my customers at a wholesale price,one day I was introduced to zidisha with my friend then I started expanding my bakery which right now is a big bakery situated in Nairobi city near kayole junction up to date.
Dear lenders,
As already mentioned above, my business is well established, it has been in existence for a while almost 4 years now. This gives me pride that I will be able to repay my Loan well on time to enable me apply for another one for quick expansion of my business.
Its therefore imperative that once I receive this money, I will purchase the mortar for my high density Oven so that it can enhance production in the bakery. This will help me higher one employee who will help me supervise the production of the bread section which is the highest income generator.
Profits are also expected to double to a higher percentage of 60%.This will greatly change my live and that of my family.
