I am an entrepreneur , a nutritionist by training. I have worked variously formally and informally. I run a start up called Glofha general supplies and a women empowerment group called kaleluya women self help group. Besides this I run a business of money transfer and rental units which I have been slowly progressing thanks to Zidisha.
I come from a very humble back ground but discipline , hard work and honesty has really shaped my life and blessed my fortunes.
I run a dairy farm now with 2 Fresian cows which calved in Dec , I sell milk and use that for feed and save the rest. I equally farm maize and beans and other vegetables in a 2 acre piece of land .
I have rental units that give me a regular monthly income that support me and my family.
The loan is going to aid me in running my current project which is vegetables and beans on the farm. its a rainy season and its best for planting. The farm is one and half acreage. I need 12 @2kg bags of bean seed. This goes for $72, with a fertiliser diammonium phosphate one bag which goes for $29, there's labour which is going to cost me an aproximate of $50,that is for ploughing ,harrowing and planting.
In such a season I intend to use this time and rain well, hopedully the crop will do well and ill be able to harvest later in the year and sell at a profit come next year. The lroceeds will really help me to pay for my sons fee who is joining high school and my d ughter who is starting her kindergaten. Ill really be grateful if I could be funded
Thankyou
