My name is Benard Chepkwony. I was born in the Year 1976 at Chebilat villageas the first born son in a family of six. I grew up in Rift valley Kenya,I did my primary and high school education in Kericho County, and later joined Moi University in Eldoret for a BSc in Human Resource Management.

Since I was the bread winner in my family,after I competed my education I came out trying to make ends meet, and also to support my siblings despite the difficult challenges i cameacross, life took a turn that became so hard, and afterawhile I was able run my business smoothly. I indulged in small scale selling of vegetables farming and would sell them to the kiosk mama mbogas. One day after I checked my account I found that I had saved more more money which was enough for me to start a business.

This year for the cereals shop i paid 75 USD to our local county authority for business licence and a monthly rent of 65 USD. I also pay 85 USD per month towards the wages of my employees.

I do re-invest my profits in my business, support to my parents and my siblings.

I am also into mentoring and training youths for better life,skills and entrepreneurship also support in different activities. I am a Christian,discipline and people oriented person. Regards.

After I raised my capital from the small business I was doing as supplying of vegetables, I started a better business of selling cereals. I do sell cereals in Sotik town where I rented my house there after moving from village. So for now I still need some capital to boost my business and to open my shop so that I can add more goods. Thank you.

I am a grocery man because my business deals with selling of vegetables mostly as this was my first business,and now I also do sells cereals goods. Again I will use the funds to buy different types of cereals to my business,I will buy maize,beans,millets,wheats,soya beans and sorghum. And for vegetables I myself had planted the vegetables for business,vegetables i have in my land are cabbages,sukuma wiki,tomatoes and spinach. Thanks for your approval for the loan.regards.
