About Me

Hello Zidisha, am very happy for being allowed to be among your members. My names are Jimmy muchiri and i was born in Nakuru county in the year 1956.I was latter enrolled to join primary school at motto primary school where I reached standard seven and did the so called CPE exams. I scored good marks but my parents never took me to high school because during those years, many parents believed that primary level was the final level provided one knows how to Read and write.My late parents were farmers and that made me follow their steps.one unique thing about my culture is that they believe that our ancestors were farmers and them when they see my farming techniques, they becomes very proud of me keeping their cultures.

My Business

My income comes from farming. I grows cash crops like ,cabbages, potatoes, cakes and all variety of vegetables. Kenya's staple food is ugali and it must be eaten with vegetables and that puts vegetables to be of high demand. Whenever I spend like 2thousand kshs, after 3months I gets 20 thousands kshs as profit. I still have some small school going children and I spends the profits as follows. 10% to Church, 40%reinvesting in farming,20% children's school's fees.and 20 %family .

Loan Proposal

I begun to thank you for the loans that you lend me for they have greatly improved my life. I have no cow and here at alkalou ,cows are doing very well. I want to buy a small cow/calf that will cost 140 dollars. It will be of great benefits because after an year, I will sell it at 40,000kshs.after sale, I will buy 3 more and that is how I will become great farmer. Thanks
