About Me
I am a father of two children both in lower primary school and whom they depend on my daily farming and shop business.
I was well educated by my both parents UpTo university level, however my dad passed on when I was in my third year at the university doing a bachelor's degree in education, My mum was very depressed and later on that year she was fired from her job, This made things hard for me and siblings which forced me to differ from school on my final year.
I had to engage in different hand to mouth jobs till my father's friend came to raise my school fees, It's during this time in my life that I started farming as a way to sustain the family and sustain myself while in school.
I thank God the hard times came to pass and till then I have been supporting my siblings and taking care of my family.
With support from organisations and loans from banks, I have managed to stay profitable and also expand my business.
My Business
Am a farmer who plants cabbages, tomatoes, maize crop and beans, with good farming practices I manage to invest back my profits expand the farm and run a retail shop business.
The profits I gain helps with family upkeep, savings and personal developments.
Farming is doing well in my area with big demand for cabbages and tomatoes.
On a good harvest I make good profit and also employ more people during harvesting period.
Project Proposal
I will use the granted funds to buy a new water pump at a cost of 47,000 Kenya shillings, the pump will help with farm irrigation and I will also be leasing out to nearby farmers at a small fee.
