About Me

I am 48 years of age married with 7 children. 3 girls and 4 boys. I reached form four in education. I live in Kiplobe farm in Lenginet location Rongai division Rongai district Nakuru county. After my secondary education I decided to venture into a tree business in order to cater for my daily living and able to provide to my family.

My Business

Because of our group of bee keeping I saw it better to start a tree nursery because the members were encouraged to plant trees and I took that chance of selling the trees to them. Nowadays I am selling to people from my division and I am very proud of this business of which like it because it has a lot of work. I normally sell each tree at 15 kshs and I can sell up to 100 tees daily. an average of 1500kshs daily. The only risk of this business is during the dry season .
The business is now doing well despite the challenges.

Project Proposal

Through the previous project I was able to save money which I want to buy a plot. But since the money is not enough, I am here requesting for this loan (project) in order to boost me in purchasing of the plot. This plot I will use it in planting tree seedlings since is located in a central point where I can get more customers. This project will do me good and I will really appreciate.

    Hello backers,
    I am doing well and thank you for the previous project. It helped me much since it boosted my tree seedlings project. I have been selling more different seedlings since I was able to plant more indigenous trees which are commonly planted in the area. Through that project I was able to get more profit which I used to service my loan and improved my living standard.
