About Me

I'm a Kenyan lady aged 24 holder of diploma certificate in information technology, i did not get a job after college neither i did not have money to continue with my studies. i decided to go back home and start small scale farming since where i come from is very productive.upto to now, i am doing farming though in a small scale due to lack of capital but i believe in some years to come, my farming will be large and with alot of income.

My Business

i also do printing ,typesetting and photocopying job withing our town as an employee.this help me to boost my farming with whatever small i get at the end of the month.

Loan Proposal

i am planning to buy seeds since the planting season is approaching.before the price rises, i will buy two sack of potatoes seeds which i intend to plant come January sack cost 50 usd . the potatoes will give me some good production and i will also be able to feed my family with it.after they are ready to harvest, i will sell them depending with the market price at that season. i expect to give a good profit of about 100 usd.

    i am really grateful, i bought my spraying bottle for my crops, i can tell that there has been a great change. my crops are no longer infected by diseases and pests.this has improved my farming project greatly. before, i used to earn between 400 to 600 shillings,but now, i normally earn between 800 to 100 shillings.i have used the earnings by buying some kales and spinach transplant and then plant them in a plot of 40 by 80 fits. personally, i have achieved a lot by this project and once again thank you for your support. my family has also benefited with this project because they use to buy farm products like vegetables but today i supply to them.my children has also benefited because whatever remains, it helps me buy them clothes and other basis needs. our neighborhood is interesting, people nearby comes to see my project and congratulates me. i have also advised them to use zidisha. at the moment i have not taken photos but i will post them later.
