About Me
My names are John Njihia Kinuthia.I am 30 years old,married man.I am a permanent resident here in Nakuru at Lanet farm.
I live and work here for my daily family livelihood.My nuclear family are my beautiful wife,Waithera,my two handsome boys,Lewis and Danson.My kids are still in their 10th years and 4th years respectively.
My Business
I am a farmer here in Lanet farm,Nakuru.I have been doing farming for my daily livelihood and for my children's future.
I mainly practice arrow roots & sweet potatoes farming.I have a quarter acre farm(1/4 acre),which I have planted the latest breed of arrow-roots for consumers.
Mainly, they take short time of between90 days to 120 days to be harvested.
I have channeled raw waters flowing from Ndundori forest and dug a pool in my farm for the dry season irrigation.
The soil PH is not acidity here,therefore making the production more tasty and sweeter than other areas in our Country.
Currently,I am waiting to harvest in one portion in about less than a month period though I don't have enough resources to transport my produce to the market.
I hereby wish to request for your support in that area.
Loan Proposal
The loan I am granting,will go towards the purchase of french beans seedlings & some manure to facilitate the farming.
This is the season for the beans which are very friendly in a low rainfall climate season.
It is my prayer that I will be granted another opportunity to do more farming.
Remain Blessed,
