MLO Africa: awesome, wholesome deliciousness

Entrepreneur

About Me

I am a caterer, writer and a musician who is studying mass communications in AUSI, Nairobi. I am gifted in many ways but my focus right now as a single mother of two is stability. That is how I came up with MLO Africa, my food business which enables me to provide affordable office lunches. My two sons are my pride and joy. I want them to be the best they could ever be. Aside from music, journalism and cooking I enjoy networking, fashion, swimming, photography, taekwondo and my alltime blessing motherhood. I am based in Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya. I appreciate the opportunities that emerge here daily to young, brilliant minds who can create, develop and excel beyond their challenges.

My Business

MLO Africa is a small food franchise that provides affordable, wholesome meals to offices. I am still working on my website but my Facebook page " MLO Africa" can show you my exact approach to what I do and what I want my brand to embody. Whenever it is possible I cook for small gatherings and for invalids as well as bachelors; people who need good food but are unable to make it themselves. I make an average of 1500 per lunch time and up to 4000 per event. Events are however still a rarity for me due to logistics but I intend to fix this in the near future as my business continues to thrive. I am very optimistic despite the fact that I am yet to attain my full potential because nothing good was built easy nor in a day. This loan will help me get to upgrade my stock so that I don't have to use part of my daily profits to buy stock. Eventually I intend on paying my school fees balance and expanding my brand. Once clients take a liking to my food it becomes a priority for them to eat it. For that reason it is a viable business with the potential to grow immensely. Thank you in advance Zidisha. I look forward to a wholesome experience together as my eventual desire is to become a lender on this platform as well someday.
