About Me

I am married with two children. I was born in a village and raised by my mom.my dad passed on when I was still young. I went to Rabi primary school and Rabi secondary school.After completing my secondary education I joined Busia Polytechnic where took certificate in general agriculture.
I got a job with an NGO as extension officer for 1 year and the contract ended due to lack of funds . i tried getting another job but was unlucky as I didn't find any. I started keeping poultry .I started with 10 chicken and two cocks and they have since increased to 150. I also do farming and always feed my chicken on kales as source of greens. My mixed farm give me decent living and I am happy to be a farmer.
my children are quite to young,they are aged three and one.
i love story telling,swimming,dancing singing and socializing. I am a good dancer and always entertain guests in occasions .

My Business

I am a mixed farmer and produce chicken for meat and eggs. I also have a farm where I grow vegetables for sale . the demand for indigenous chicken and vegetables is very high. I feed my chicken on greens and home formulated feeds and use the manure in my farm.Its some form of mutual relationship.
I choose farming because I had worked as an extension officer and had experiencing in livestock production and crop protection.
I spend $100 on feeds and immunization and $80 on pestcides for vegetables. my total revenues is $400 on average.
I use my profits in farm expansion ,taking care of my bills and taking care of my parents.

Loan Proposal

Hello lenders,I hope you are well and I wish you well in 2016 . I am requesting for my second loan to facilitate purchase of 100 more chicks to add to my stock of 150 chicken. With more stock I will enjoy economies of scale and improve sales making my venture improve and create more income. I started repaying my first loan well ,but due to challenges I was not able to complete on time,please forgive me and consider me once again. Thank you in advance.
