my name is Jame, i live in Eldoret where i was also educated from. I went to Kiplombe primary school, Kamagut secondary school.
I am engaged in farming as well as running where i make a living from. I am good in running and from these running, i have been able to win several medals that has helped me ran the farming business well.
I started these business three years back after participating in a marathon called the Lewa Marathon and won 2000 us dollars. I invested the money into purchase of a one point piece of land where i now carry out my farming business.
My hobby is running, i enjoy s much running
I ran for living and also have maize in my farm where i have planted maize for sale.n These goods that i offer for sale is very important because it is the staple food for many in kenya and hence important for living.
I chose these business because i was brought up in a family of farmers and hence it was something in us.
I use the income that i make from these business to support my running career, for example i have been able to take part in different marathons outside kenya. i also pay for my training in a settler camp
I will use these loan to pay for a registration fee of 50 us dollars so that i will be able to take part in the kesses marathon scheduled to take place on the 2oth of these month. I will make an addition of 25 us dollars to the loan and take part in the competition.
I will benefit from the competition because if i emerge the winner and i know i am well equipped for the race i will win 800 us dollars
