I am Timothy Ong'ongo 26 years old.I was born in Nakuru county and raised in a family of twelve children i being third born.Life was not that good because my parent didn't have good job to boost up their life and that of there children and support them in their academic in school.I went to school in Terry Primary School where i finished and pass with flying colors unfortunately my parents could not afford to pay for my school fees.I started working on peoples farms nearby my neighbors at least to earn my living.I loved the job because i was used to it and nothing i could have done with class eight certificate.I developed a passion on the farming and the small land that i inherited from my living father i started cultivating on it.Also in future i would love to be a large scale farmer and have a grain store of y own and be a father who will his family the best and take my kids to the best schools.
Am a small scale farmer my 'shamba' is located at Molo kwa shiera road third shamba on your left hand side just after tar mark road.I do provide goods to my customers like:vegetables,maize,beans,potatoes,sweet potatoes.My goods are on demand because am well known as a very hardworking man and my goods are fresh.I chose being a farmer because i loved the job and one can make high a mount of profit via farming.My farming cost per six months is $450 and a profit of $600.My profit i use to save so that in future i will start selling farming inputs and part of it i use to support myself and my family too.
Thank you so much Zidisha for accepting my membership,now i humbly request lenders to support my bid and this how i am going to spend my loan on my farming business.
-$30 i will spend on buying ridomil to protect my tomatoes from frost because currently there is more rains that may reduce my yield next month.This will enable me to harvest my tomatoes to the maximum giving me higher profit.
-$30 i will use on liquid firtilizer to spray on my tomatoes so that to boost flowering and larger fruits as most customers prefer quality big big tomatoes.This will help me to attract more customers in the market.
-$40 i will buy fertilizer that i will use to transplant watermelon and pay for labour and pay for transport cost for kale drumhead to the market.'Asante sana' thank you.
