About The Project

$625 needed to purchase inventory and pay rent to help expand his business
$250 contributed by Richard towards his project


He believes that changing the business model will benefit both his family and the community. A wholesale business can generate more income than his current retail business. In addition, a wholesale market will benefit his community as other businesses can by materials and goods in bulk from a local source and not have to travel or pay for transportation costs. Buying locally will increase these businesses profit margins. Your investment will help Richard begin to build his inventory of bulk/wholesale goods.



Paying it Forward

Richard will help his community in a couple ways. The wholesale market will help local businesses increase their profit margins by offering materials at wholesale prices and by eliminating the transport fees. And as his farm increases production, he will need to hire local labor.

Backstory

Richard and his wife have six children, all in school. Therefore, they must provide tuition for all the children as their education is important to the family. He and his wife also grow and sell vegetables (Irish potatoes, wheat and millet). He would like to increase his crop production and add some domestic animals to the mix. As a businessman, Richard is invested in both a local SACCO and has a bank savings account. (SACCO members put their savings together and provide loans to their own members at reasonable rates). A couple of his goals are to  build his own home one day and buy a cow for a source of milk for this family. He makes use of the health talks on the radio as hospitals are a long distance and the roads are poor.
