About Me

Am now 39 years old man who started horticulture 9 years ago along lake Victoria in Kenya. I have a family of four kids that's two girls and two boys.

My Business

My income mainly comes from horticulture that I have been practicing for years now. out of the business I opened a barber shop and a photocopy.

Loan Proposal

An planning to buy complete irrigation kit for my farm. I've been using direct gasoline water pump with pressure pipes and I wasted a lot of water in the process

Income Source

Despite the covid-19 restrictions and, regulations and guidelines people must use essential needs like food and that's where my traget market is and infact it's more easy to sell farm products than it was before

    Am planning to buy another big fish cage enough to hold again 2000 post fingerlings. This will help me have enough capacity to hold all the fingerlings I had earlier invested on. I really appreciate this assistance dear lenders

    I was sick some time back but since I recovered I've been able to do farming more than before and now I'm harvesting

    It was very difficult to manage my farming activities empty handed and when I learned about Zidisha I have been having easiest time to buy farm inputs and equipment from the loan they have been giving me. Thanks my team!!

    I had a chronic disease that made me slow my payment. I took months in hospital to recover and right now am back on my feet and steadily farming. Am planning to finish my loan before next month after harvesting
