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.

Loan Proposal

I will use the entire amount to buy 2 dozen - 2kgs packets of maize flour which is currently in high demand at the moment. I am finding it hard to cope with this demand and I have to keep replenishing my stock which is time consuming and not very profitable.

Buying this large stock will enable me to serve my clients efficiently.

Thanks.
