About Me

My name is Richard Momanyi. I was born in Kisii county which is in the western part of Kenya. The main occupation there is farming and my parents are small scale farmers. I grew up helping them in the farm and we also used to keep some domestic animals like cows and goats.

I am married and looking forward to starting a family with of two children.

My Business

I do business in the coastal town of Mombasa city where I sell household items in a small shop. I sell items such as cooking oil, maize and wheat flour, sugar etc. I serve people who live in my neighborhood.

I make around $100 per month but I am hoping to increase this amount as I keep expanding the business. This amount will inch upwards due to continued support I am getting from Zidisha.

Project Proposal

I will invest the money in my shop by buying more stock that will hopefully increase my sales and profit. I will buy sugar and cooking oil from wholesale shops and then retail them at a profit from my outlet.

Thank you.

    I can only afford to pay this amount for now. I will adjust later on when the business improves.

    I need a bit of time to invest this money and get reasonable returns. Thank you for your understanding.

    I thank the contributors for funding the just ended loan. I used it to introduce utensils in my retail shop and so far it is doing well.

    I am unable to raise more than this amount for now due to low business sales. I hope to change this as soon as the situation changes.

    I have invested the money in my business. I hope to adjust as soon as the sales pick up.

    Thank you very much for the funding. I'll use the money to increase the much needed stock. This will in turn increase my daily sales.
