About Me

my name is martin kiprotich koskei and i come from nakuru county, nakuru north district, bahati location, morop village, and that where i reside. i am a holder of bachelor degree in information technology. i am a cash crop farmer in the same location. the farming business enable me to earn my lively hood and enough personal.savings

My Business

currently i do farming and i major in tomatoes,cabbages,maize,bulb onions and other cash crops. i quit my day time job in 2010 where i was working as an ict tutor to major in farming and specifically horticulture. my main reason in resigning was to diverge my energies and attention to farming as i saw an opportunity in supplying fresh farm produce to the overgrowing population in nakuru county. i took it as an encouragement from what i was reaping as a side job and decided to transform it as my main economic activity.

Loan Proposal

i intend to improve my farming with the proceeds, by acquiring a water pump to make it easier for me to further my income during the low rainy season and also deal with the crops that needs to be irrigated, your funding will highly help me.i am glad that now my dream is coming true and are be able to come up with good agricultural projects as it was my intension. thank you once again for your funding me.

lenders Martin Kiprotich after taking over the phone he told me that he invested her loan on farming and bad weather destroyed the whole thing .and also to make the matter worse the same same shamba that he used to farm was sold by the owner and he was left with nothing .he is now planning to look for a another source of income elsewhere and he will start repaying her loan if possible next year 2015 he also said that he will communicate as soon as he is able to do all that .
Thank you
John

Congratulations, Martin, on receiving your loan. As a farm boy, myself, I know how much time and energy goes int a successful farm operation. I well remember carrying water to the plants in the field, a bucket at a time, before there was any irrigation. A pump should help greatly. I applaud your own inititive and hard work to improve your own situation and to improve the life of others. Best wishes for great success.

    Good luck with whatever you do. When I was a student I tried to have a loan and it was declined and I still remember I was pissed off with my bank. I hope it works out for you for the best.
