Purchase more fabrics for my apron business

About Me

My name is Jesse Wainaina. Am the 1st born in a family 4. My parents are farmers. and they live in Kiambu County and i live in Githurai 45 Progressive.I have a diploma in business management.After long such for a formal job i have decide to venture in business my first business which was funded by Zidisha Family was on Apron making.This Business was successful and has made me venture in my new project of Day care services to children below 5 years.The business is targeting women who live in the urban areas where they have less time to care for their children due to the work pressure.Most of the urban women have employed house girls to take care of their children when they are at work.This is quite challenging since the house girl can decide to leave the house at anytime making the mother stranded because she has to go to work.Many mothers have complained theft in their house .With the day care service mothers will live their children in a safe,child friendly environment without fear of theft at their home.This will be convenient because they will also not have extra cost on the house girl expenses. Parents will pay a small fee of Ksh 200 per day for the services.I am targeting to get 30 children and this will translate to ksh 6000 per day.This money will help me hire 2 trained Early Childhood teacher who will engage children with learning and play during the day i have a great passion of working with children. I believe that every parent want to get the best of his or her child in the key stage years of Early Childhood. This is considered the cornerstone to any education. I look upon Zidisha team to support my idea as i impact knowledge and skills to the young ones.
On a part time i also volunteer in a rehabilitation center that cater children with disabilities.The center offers physiotherapy and occupation therapy to children with special needs.In this program i meet and interact with parents where i offer counselling services to parents with regular visits to their home to encourage them raise their children.

My Business

Hi Zidisha family, I am looking forward for the organization to lend me money to expand my apron making business. The aprons are commonly used by women in the market place and they are currently in high demand because they protect their clothes from getting stains that come from peeling the fruits and making juice. The aprons also have a side pocket and also one attached on the inside to safely secure the money that these women get from petty thieves. I recently managed to get an order for around 300 aprons that I am required to supply to 10 different women groups which I expect to bring a profit of about US$ 200. I will therefore need a loan of about US$ 300 which I will use to purchase 20 fabrics along with accessories such as; ribbons, threads and laces which all totals up to about US$ 400. I have managed to save US$ 100 which will help cover the additional cost. From my earnings, I plan to repay my Zidisha Loan, support my family to pay college fee for my sister who joined Zetech University early last year. Thank you so much lenders for your support as not only have I been able to help my business stand to where it is now but also helped my sister finish high school as well. I am looking forward to your positive response. God Bless the Zidisha Team. Amen.
