About Me

I was born in Olenguruone in 1987. I started my schooling in 1991 in Kiptenden Primary School where I earned my KCPE and then proceeded to Amalo Secondary School. During this time, I struggled to maintain myself in pocket money and I helped my parent while on holiday. After schooling, I managed our livestock (cows) which are liked and the care of which is most practiced in our culture.
I want to have 2 to 3 kids. I like surfing and travelling.

My Business

I buy and sell milk. Milk is one of the most in-demand foods and a source of income to farmers. This is why I opt to buy milk from farmers. I boost the price to receive more income. Where the dairy plant buys at a lower price at $0.32, I buy at $0.37 and sell at $0.45. This income mainly goes to school for school fees and other expenses.

Loan Proposal

With my loan I am planning to buy milk from farmers and selling to hotells and residents in town this where milk being a source of food the demand for milk is high ,there is dairy plant that buys milk from farmers but it's price is low which i plan to buy at higher price than that of dairy plant and selling at a difference of $0.07 as profit per litre.i tend to increase purchasing of more milk thus more sells and open branches

    Judith,
    I wonder what went wrong with your plans. You have had good track record and with this loan, you have missed all your payments.
