My name is Stanely Njoroge, third born in a family of eight. I am a Christian by faith. I went to Kimorori Primary and I did my KCPE in year 2008. I joined Kariguini Secondary and I did my KCSE in year 2012. Due to lack of money, I was not able to join a college. I decided to start farming. In year 2013, my uncle at Mazeras called me to work in his shop, but in the year 2015 January my uncle's shop was attacked by robbers and they managed to steal money and shop inventory. So, my uncle told me that our business would not be able to pay a worker. I decided to start my own business of selling plastic bags in the market and small shops. During my leisure time, I love watching movies.

My business is selling plastic bags in the market and small shops. I chose this business because many people use plastic bags for carrying simple things from the market and shops, and it needed a small amount of capital. In one week, I manage to raise KSh 1000 which is not enough to satisfy me with daily bread and to pay house rent. If granted this loan, I will be able to expand my business and this will add income in my pocket which will help me to employ youths here. Thank you in advance.
