About The Project

The business is to sell fabrics and designs for different areas like weddings, curtains for windows, bedding, clothes for stitching, and carpets among other things. If Charles shall receive a donation from CII he would like to do the following for his business: Firstly, to invest more in fabrics and create an online platform where people can promote his business and be able to sell and buy his goods and services online. Secondly, he plans to do door-to-door delivery of his products. Thirdly, he wants to venture into African attire design. He is also looking forward to having his own company for sewing the African Attire.  Fourthly, he wants to open a space to train others as well. Fifthly, he wants to create awareness among the public, especially the people of Kisumu, that African attire are still the best.  


Paying it Forward

Charles will try and create job opportunities for his fellow young people who have an interest in the field of fabrics and design. He also thinks that after some time he shall pay school fees for needy children.

Backstory

Charles started this business 4 years ago. He has improved since then. Thus this is his area of specialization. 
His name is called Charles Aundo. He is married with two children. He studied fabrics and design, so that's where his interest comes from. He has been passionate about his business. He started this business with a loan from the bank three years ago and through this, he has tried to keep his business going. His friends and relatives have helped him to keep this business. He has supported two people who have started their own businesses as well. He also started table banking with his lenders. The challenge is that the fabrics are very expensive and tax rates are very high. He lacks a sewing machine that can help him to sew wedding and African attire.
