About Me

hello lenders, I am githaiga Joseph aged 38 years. I am a family man with two kids-two boys. i am currently working with a local organization but also I have side jobs to earn extra income. I buy used and new cloths and shoes and sell for a small profit online.i plan to open a shop soon if I get some capital.

My Business

besides a salary I earn from my employer I also have small businesses to supplement on the income. I am engaged in selling cloth items at retail price.i buy new cloths and sell them through my friends and neighbors.basically it's a virtual boutique. Its a fairly new business venture but is able to bring some income and pay some bills.

Loan Proposal

I have been engaged in small scale farming now for some time now.my family depends on the farm for our home use as well as for sale to get some income.I use drip irrigation for my small farm where I grow vegetables and tomatoes as well as water melons. I plan to buy seeds worth USD.20, fertilizer worth USD.35 and manure worth USD.25. I already have all drip irrigation kits installed and am able to pay for water bills.its a small farm so I don't employ farm hands but I work on the farm together with my wife. I plan to repay back the loan from the sale I make weekly from vegetables. I look forward to lenders funding my loan. Thank you.
