My Business

life in the urban area become so challenging especially after post election violence in Kenya in 2007 hence doing business was not easy due to insecurity and i didn't have any other source of income hence decided to relocate to the rural area in Ambira where am still there.Since i had children who were looking up on me i decided to indulge my self into farming.i had small saving hence i bought small piece of land and also i had a small portion of land which was left behind by my husbands father where we had already build a small house hence relocating was not so difficult. the first season i planted maize and millet and i thank God the outcome was not so bad. i was able to sell 2 sacks of maize and the rest i kept for family use since in Kenya our staple food is ugali. But the next season the outcome was not so good hence i wasn't able to sell, i just got 2 sacks of maize and i couldn't sell that since my family could stave if i did that.i wasn't able to get good income becouse i didn't use fertilizer and also i didn't spray the crops with pesticides to prevent them from diseases and those are some of the challenges that as a farmer i have to face at each planting season.if i get this money i will be able to buy enough fertilizer for my plantation and also pesticides for the outcome to become better. Through this i will be able to sell more and get finance to take my children to school.two of them are in secondary school which makes it so difficult to pay there fee especially here in the rural area.hop[e to hear from you soon and my the almighty God bless you for such a great organization meant to assist people.
