About Me

My names are Dorcas Anyango. I am young lady aged thirty . I was raised by a Christian parents in our home in Siaya, Kenya. My parents were very poor and this made my dad to migrate to the city in search for a job and as for us we were left struggling with life at home. The small earnings he got only sustained us a little bit as I and my brothers and sister were able to go to school for studies. Unfortunately my father was attacked by robers who ended his life at a an institution that he was guarding since he was working as a security guard.

I completed my secondary education in the year 2010 after much up and down with school fees.i am staying with my family in kisumu town area where I started had boutique.this has been of assistance to me and my doughter to sustain us.
.
I was blessed with (Precious oduor)) who is about two year and eight months old; it’s my desire to bring her up in a godly way so as to help them overcome worldly influences when she grows up and become an adult.

My Business

The name of my business is Precious Boutique . I do sell clothing’s of all categories which we buy from wholesalers in Uganda or Nairobi. I am planning increase my clothing stock to include all varieties. I like this business because I am able to get some income through the profits earned from my boutique
Its my desire to grow my business to the level of a cash and carry supermarket if God open ways for funds. This would increase my income and I will be able to support my brothers and sister and my mother who is a widow. I will really appreciate anyassistancet accorded to me. May the almighty God bless you abundantly as you avail your resources to lend to the needy especialy to my Boutique.

Loan Proposal

Thank you good people for having funded my previous loan and even having another opportunity to request for another loan. i am planning to buy a new sewing machine at approximately 400 usd. beside selling ready made imported cloths in my shop i am also planning to extend it to sewing new cloths especially women dresses. this is to meet preferences of my customers who prefers taking measurement and sewing cloth for them rather than buying a ready made which might not fit well. this is going to increase my sales returns as i am going to add another group of customers with this preference.for me i will benefit by sharping my tailoring skills as well as getting extra money.during peak seasons i would be able to increase my returns to approximately 100 usd per week with a profit of around 60 usd

    i am very thankful to all my lenders forthe previous loan. it was of great boost to my business. i just want to say that i was able to import new cloths of the latest fashion from uganda and since my people are liking them igot good returns from the great sales hence great profits. i am expecting profits of between 10 - 20usd per cloth. it will create a good income to me and my family hence a good way of alleviating poverty and enriching my standard of living. my customers were very happy to access latest fashion at favourable prices. my living status was also boosted. may God bless you

    I spoke to Dorcas and she said she has been experiencing financial difficulties of late. She promised to re-schedule her loan to an amount she can comfortably pay.
