About Me

Greetings,
My name is Purity Gacheru, a Kenyan from rural Nyeri County but I work and live near Kenya's Capital - Nairobi. A few years ago I worked in a Bank within the city but unbelievably for me - one morning we found that the Bank had been closed (collapsed)...and down went my job and my savings which I was saving in the same bank for over 9 years. It has been years but I could not just 'wait to see' if I will get my money out sooner. It has still not happened, but I did not go down with it...

My Business

..I have since dusted off and managed to set up my own small business. I buy and sell 2-way communications gadgets, (mostly Walkie Talkies bought from major sellers). Over a short period I have found out that Walkie Talkies are very useful and handy for institutions such as schools, godowns, supermarkets, etc; event organizers and sports events. Most people appreciate the quick way to communicate and also no airtime top ups and no network problems - Just press and talk.

My desire is to be able to stock up and have a good base for supplies so as not to lose a customer and also avoid giving them days or weeks of lead time for delivery. As the market trends move, I definitely will embrace the new technologies in the market to keep pace with the ever changing telecommunication industry.

I AM REALLY GRATEFUL TO HAVE FOUND ZIDISHA.
Thank you ALL.

Loan Proposal

Dear Lenders,
I am extremely grateful for coming this far. I am seeking a new loan to add towards buying of Walkie Talkies' Accessories. Accessories such as Batteries, Antennas & Chargers are an essential part of the Talkies and this is what I wish to purchase for stock. The purchase prices depend on the model of the Talkies requiring the accessories, going anywhere between $25-$45.
Being able to have stock is my big desire because it is really hard to watch a customer going away because the items are not in stock and they cannot wait for it to be sourced for many days.
I sell the items to end-users for between $30-$65 depending on whether they pay immediately or at a later agreed date, again the type or model will determine the exact end price.
I look forward to your funding, with a lot of appreciation for all who have loaned me in the past.
Many thanks again,
Purity
