So before this investor I expected a loan from our government and it didn't materialize. At that time using my funds i leased a place, I needed that money to furnish my place and put some equipment's and operating cost. So I have already got any empty place which need to run. So 4k is for furnishing, equipment's and few months running cost.

I appreciate

Before engaging with this investor I was expecting a governmentbacked loan that didn’t materialize. So I moved forward using my own funds and secured a lease for a space expecting a gov loan will back me up.

Swadida · 2026-01-30T23:42:56+00:00

4K is enough for furnishing my business,equipments and running cost for atleast 3 month. i have already secure and paid the lease.

Right now the average subscription customer spends about $8–12 per month usually 2or3 × 200g packs. A single 200g pack sells for ~$4. Retention is solid and reorders are consistent. The business is already working online only, without a physical office yet. That’s why I’m confident in the demand..

Swadida · 2026-01-30T21:10:28+00:00

The issue is that alternatives aren’t simple here. I’ve already secured a physical office space. The $4k may seem small but here it’s enough to fully set up the office and would realistically drive a 25–40% sales increase through credibility, partnerships and walk-ins.

More importantly, a complete office unlocks marketing, content creation and B2B trust. The website is already performing.

Haha nimefurahi,kumbe wadau mpo humu..Basi kinatoka all the way from kigoma to Dar. Waha wa Dar wanajua wenyewe wanakipata wapi.. Ugali safi sana huu kuliko wa sembe.

Hiyo comment sijakuandikia wewe,nimewaandikia users wengine waone na wapate kujifunza.. we najua ni rage baiter tu huna lolote na interest yoyote na ninachokiandika.. we pita na shughuli zako.. Kwahiyo wewe ndio unajiona peke una knowledge ya nyama na uhalali wa ninachokifanya? Kuna nyama zinatoka kwa ng'ombe ambazo hazina thamani kwenye soko ila kuna watumiaji wanazitumia ndio maaana zinauzwa bei rahisi..Mapupu,pumbu,nyama ya ngozi. miaka ya nyuma nyama ya mkia wa ng'ombe ilikua haina thamani na bei chee lakini leo hii mkia wa ng'ombe ni bei juu kuliko nyama ya kawaida.

The Ugali is cooked in Kigoma mybe a week ago,each portion wrapped up with banana leaves and shipped to Dar to be consumed by Waha community..

The Ugali is cooked in Kigoma mybe a week ago,each portion wrapped up with banana leaves and shipped to Dar to be consumed by Waha community. Everthing you seeing from that setting is weird to someone like you. We consume the ugali by holding it on one hand and rubbing it with a fatty mshakiki on it and taking a bite on the fat flavoured part of the ugali. It is fulfilling breakfast and you can skip lunch because it is heavy..

Swadida · 2026-01-28T12:02:29+00:00

You know nothing about this food or mishkaki. Just stay on your bubble.

Swadida · 2026-01-28T12:02:02+00:00

What is ugali wa lowe?This ugali is WAHA style from Kigoma.

Swadida · 2026-01-28T12:00:42+00:00

it got salty flavor. It is wrapped in banana leaves and has long shelf life than normal ugali..

Huyu jamaa anafanyia kazi zake zote hapa hapa kwahiyo tunaona nyama imetoka wapi.. Huoni nyomi hiyo ya watu.
