Hello to you all. My names are Kellen Barasa, I am a young farmer . I schooled in Nyawita primary school and and went to Nyawita secondary school,I went to Bukura college where I did certificate in agronomy. I was not able to get a white collar job and resorted to farming.
I started farming as 2 years ago . I planted 1/2 acre of vegetables that I sold to my fellow villagers. I soon started getting customers from different areas . I run out of stock and that is when i thought of expanding my farm to an acre . I expanded my farm to 3/4 acres of land and I am still expanding it. I use kitchen garden models since they are good in water retention and I am also able to get more produce from a smaller area.
I have one year child ,I love her and she keeps growing bigger every day. I am working hard to give her the best a parent can provide.
I am a peer educator ,and spend most of my free time with young farmers to advice and help them come up with the best projects and implement them.
I provide my clients with various vegetables including tomatoes ,green vegetables both exotic and indigenous. I grow the crops in 3/4 acre piece of land.Though my farm is small I am planning to expand it to two acres.
Vegetables are important part of diet for most households . They provide vitamins which are important for a healthy family and household.
I choose farming business because it is very profitable and gives good returns for investment.
my typical costs per month are $140 per month and my typical revenues per month are $300.
I use my profits for farm expansion,buying basic needs for the family,and reinvestment.thank you for reading my profile
I am very thankful dear lenders and the zidisha community. I am proud of u because you have helped me improve my business. i am requesting for a loan to help me construct a wooden green house in my farm. I would use the money to buy polythene $300 and pay labor $100. The green house would serve me for at least three years and I expect to use the proceeds to buy a bigger modern green house. I believe I will make it in life through farming. thank you always for your incredible kindness.
