About Me
My name is Carren Chepkemoi from Sitoito villlage in Molo division of Nakuru county. I am 34 years old, married and blessed with three kids- One girl and two boys.
I studied a certificate course in Food science but have never been employed.
So i currently spend most of my time doing farming- Which is a source of food and income for the family.
I spend my free time watching TV and visiting friends
My Business
I am currently a full time farmer- specializing in Soya beans. I chose Soya because the crop is very nutritious for home use while the competition in the market is also low.
I also do small scale value addition to produce soya milk and soya beverages- which fetch good prices.
I plant twice in a year- February/March and July/August when we experience long rains.
Loan Proposal
The long rains are yet to set in and I am planning to plant Soya beans. I am still selling the previous harvest but has been hard to save for bulk purchase of fertilizer and seeds.
I am therefore planning to use the $100 loan to purchase certified seeds and fertilizer for early planting.
The sales from the previous harvest will enable me service the loan with ease.
