About Me

I am 28years old. I grew up in Narok county. I went to primary school at St. Peter's Academy and excelled very well. For my secondary school, I managed to go to a National school, Loreto High School, Limuru. After that I proceeded to do my CPA's which is still in progress and I hope to finish very soon. I am now an experienced accountant with 3 clients and I hope to have my own audit firm in the future. I am also pursuing a degree in agribusiness and I am currently in fourth year hoping to graduate in December 2021. I plan to venture into farming as a way of diversifying. Covid-19 era has taught me the importance of diversification since it almost rendered me jobless. Agribusiness is the better and surest way of carrying out agricultural activities.

My Business

I am an accountant with a small accounting firm with the intention og growing to my own audit firm. Accounting is my passion and I am happy doing it. Once I clear my CPA's I plan do do professional auditing. Currently, I am at CPA 4 hoping to clear next year. Using funds from my Zidisha loan, I will be able to increase my clientelle by hiring a marketer.
I also hope to venture into potato farming since the soils in Narok County are good for farming. I plan to use skills acquired in agribusiness to farm eficiently and also educate farmers on better ways of farming.

Project Proposal

I would like to grow a diversity of vegetables like brocolli, cauliflower, beetroot, red cabbage, lettuce and kale. I am currently farming spinach and avocadoes and I would love to expand my farming
