About Me

I grew up in rural Kenya, and i managed to get education. I am university graduate in Bachelor of agriculture and veterinary studies. Since completing my studies i have not yet gotten a government job. So i decided to go into farming, so as to cater for my basic needs. I borrowed money from my sister to buy a green house so as to practice farming.
i decided to do farming so as to get good money to educate my kids .
I like doing voluntary work in my community during my free time.

My Business

I basically rear chicken, and do horticulture. I have 40 chicken some of which are laying eggs, and i also plant tomatoes, onions and cabbages.
I have equally started bee farming, right now i have 7 beehives which i am about to harvest in October.
i chose this kind of business coz it requires little capital to start and i have ready market for my products

Loan Proposal

I require 30 dollars to buy timber so that i can make more beehives, 50 dollars to supplement the buying of chicken feeds.
I will equally use part of the loan about 20 dollars to buy drugs for my poultry as well as buy crates to help me transport eggs from the farm to the market.
Thanks

      Bwema- I hope you start making payments on your loan soon. You are young and may need zidisha loans in the future, so it is important for you to keep a good reputation on this platform. Please communicate with your lenders.
      Thanks!

    I am so grateful for the loan you gave me. I used the loan to buy a pulvilerise machine. I am now able to feed my animals comfortably. It has increased my yield. And I can now save more.
