Loan Proposal

Lately in our area we have been experiencing power outages which have affected our business and our farming. Lately I bought an incubator so that I could sell chick to upcoming farmers, when the lights goes off it can withstand for 48hours (2days) from there if the power is not back i happen to loose many of my fertilized eggs. The last time there was a power blackout, a week ago I lost 240eggs which was a big loss to a startup. The generator will also help me worm my breeders and leave the old ways of using tin with charcoals (makeshift Jikos) which sometimes causes death to some of the chicks due to burns. Using this Jiko is also dangerous because if the charcoal falls on the sawdust which we normally use as bedding's it can cause fire and burn the whole place.
I am seeking a loan facility of Kes19,000 to purchase a generator which cost Kes59,999 of which the balance i will use personal savings

Regards
