Malilo furnitures is an idea of running a successful furnitures business. Due to the market gap and the prevailing demand ni modern furnishing,I came up with the project.Initially I had worked and ventured into world of furnitures thus the skills and experience.My passion for carpentery and joinery have inspired me to inventing and coming up with modern furnitures that meets the current market demands.We have majored in production of cozy sofa sets,jumbo beds,wardrobes,TV stands,cupboards, double-decker beds,shoe racks and kitchen cabinets . we're situated at a very strategic location where customers meet us on a daily basis.We do marketing online too to attract customers. Having operated for less than 2months i have serious financial problems.I majorly work with orders.when I get customers,I have to convince them to pay a down-payment of a certain amount for us to start working on their orders.we have challenges of ready made customers.i appeal for any financial help that can solve.

Secondly the initiative is helping in solving furnishing needs in our households,the world is changing and human beings are on a competition to acquire more complex furnitures that suits their tests. Thirdly,I have in one way or another solved the issue of rise in crime rates,already by coming up with this initiative has given chances to my fellow youths and myself to shun away from activities like stealing and robbing off people their belongings.
