I'm a father of one child and a agriculture enthusiast, i managed to school to college level, i later faced challenges when i was in college, my parents faced financial problems and school fees was an issue, I started to do farming at home so to make money to add up to what my parents raised to clear school fees.
Its through this farming that i managed to exchange maize crop as a trade in for school fees.
I later completed school and secured employment with an NGO, with passion for farming i invested my salary on farming after four years i sold a piece of land and bought a tractor, Later on resigned from my job to focus on farming, The idea to buy a tractor was from my father, I started using the tractor to dig other farmers land at a fee, I managed to make more money invested on large scale farming and support my siblings.
My father is now at his old age, he advice's me and manages the farm.
Together as one we have manged to transform lives of our family members invested more on farming and hit our yearly target.
Farming is my main source of income, my father manages our family land of 7 acres where we plant Potatoes, tomatoes and maize crop, With advice from experienced farmers i have managed to increase profits and made a difference in my family.
This loan is a good way to join micro-finance organization i will top the money to 80 us dollars and invest in Tomatoes plantation.
I aim to make profits from tomatoes due to demand from nearby hotels.
