I was born in kisumu county. i spent my time in Nyahera, which is a village in kisumu. After high school i got married in siaya county where i stay currently in a village called Kobare. i have been farming since I was young. however, i have never found the opportunity venture in commercial farming due to limited funds. In most cases my farming has been for subsistence use. Nonetheless, I have not lost hope in the possibility of venturing in commercial farming.
My business has mainly been small scale farming where at times i do sell my crops when i need some cash. however, i still consider it subsistence farming because little input is utilized in the farms. moreover, the outcome is usually used at home except for a few sales here and there to help meet my needs. However, Zidisha funding will enable me to increase cash crop production, especially maize and vegetables which are in demand here, i will be able to increase my produce and hence stat commercial farming. my farm included crops such as maize, and beans as well as peanuts. if i increase my input then i believe i will realize more profit from the farm. thanks.
Firstly, I'd like to thank Zidisha staff and the ever welcoming lenders who keep streaming to help us move to the next level and to improve our livelihood. My last loan was a success, and I am really happy that i managed to pay up.This time i'd lie to keep up with the season and buy more fertilizers and seeds as well as other farm inputs to help me cultivate and plant maize and beans this season ($500), this loan would greatly help me achieve this objective. i also want to add more casual workers ($150)in the farm to increase quality of produce, kindly assist thanks.
