My name is Collins Rugendo. I live in Tharaka-Nithi county Chuka Estate. I came from a family of four in which am the second born. I live with my father since my mother passed away when i was in high school. I am a christian with Redeemed Gospel Church where I serve as a youth leader and a peer counsellor coordinator . I am also a motivational speaker. I went to Kangoro day secondary school and then Muranga University of Technology where I undertook Bachelors in Human Resource Management. I was able to raise my college fees through working on my farm as a farmer. Throughout my life I have had the passion for farming but due to inadequate funds I have been forced to work on a small piece of land available at home. The little i get from my farm has helped put food on the table for our family.
As a farmer i have been involved in this field for five years now. I mainly grow tomatoes, vegetables and onions. I sell my products to schools around and also take some to retailers in the market at Chuka town. Its my passion to plant and sell for money so that i can successfully achieve financial stability and also feed my family.
Buy chemicals to spray my plants to prevent attack by pest and diseases.This will enhance better harvest which brings with it a better return on the invested funds
