About Me

Born in 1982 in Nairobi where I did study to secondary school level. I wasn't able to further the studies for various issues at that time hence I started engaging in small connections especially driving matatus and taxi so as to create a living.
Am married to one wife and we are blessed with four children all in school. With my small income from the small portion am farming ,I have been able to educate them to where they are at the moment with struggles of course.
I have been brought up in a farming community, these created in me the interest and passion for farming. Though I don't have any finances ,I am focused on making the project a success.
I hope to be a dairy livestock breeder as well as a large pork producer.

My Business

I am currently planting vegetables in an open field. The vegetables are mainly kales, spinach and traditional vegetables. I have started small on a 50 by 50 piece of land.
I have a 0.39 ha piece of land to utilize if finances are available and it can fetch upto ksh 2000 per day hence my passion to push for it's succession. The larger the production the better the income. I do sell the little I have to households around the farm area. The whole farm if utilised well can rear upto 30 dairy cattle, 1000 pigs, 3000 poultry chicken. So my aim is way higher if am able to get support.

Project Proposal

Having already started the project though in it's initial stages, I will use the funds to purchase some water pipes since my main challenge is water storage.
