My name is Geoffrey Siocha from Nakuru - Lanet division. I was born and raised up in Kisii County in Kenya.
I grew up in Kisii which is an agricultural zone and is evergreen and fertile. We were introduced to farming at a tender age since our parents were full-time farmers. They practiced both livestock and crop farming in large scale.
I started rabbit farming soon after my secondary school upon arrival in Nakuru. The demand for rabbit meat was high and I spotted an opportunity and went for it.
I keep about 20 rabbits and I am planning to enlarge my current rabbit pen to accommodate about 100 rabbits.
Besides rabbit rearing, I have managed to rear chicken and dairy goats over time. I currently have 200 chickens and two dairy goats.
I have also been able to open a small information center to serve my community. The center has gradually grown with the help of Zidisha. I help to improve computer literacy skills to the members of my community for the betterment of the future since there is a great advancement in technology in our country and beyond.
I currently intend to buy seats that are more comfortable, in my information center, to curb the challenge that I have heard from customer complaints in the recent days
Over a time now, my customers have complained a lot or the discomfort they have been facing once they come to the center. I have been using some old chairs whereby some were broken and were not conducive to my customers, especially the aged community members who have been attending my computer literacy classes. This has made them leave before the allocated time since not many of them could put up with it longer. I intend to get some seats that can be favorable and a bit comfy for that matter. This is the reason for my proposal this time. I also want to buy a juice blender so that my customers can have a cheap readily available glass of juice as they enjoy the service.
