About Me

My name is Mary, I am married with 5 children. I am a farmer doing small scale farming in my farm. My eldest child is a boy who is 13 years old. He aspires to be a lawyer and other ones have not figured out what they want to be in the future.

My husband is also a farmer and we work together.

I am an active church members where I am involved in music evangelism. I spend my Sundays on such mission across my region.

My Business

I am a farmer who grows food crops for my family and a little more to sell in the local market. I also keep cattle and I have one dairy cow and two calves.

I sell milk to my neighbors and this gives me money that I need for running my family budget.

My business has grown exponentially of late, largely due to Zidisha credit and I am hoping to keep growing.

Loan Proposal

I am glad to have another opportunity to borrow from Zidisha. Our planting season is almost here and I need money prepare the land and buy some farm inputs. My budget is as follows:

- Labor for land preparation USD 40
- Certified seeds (maize and potatoes) USD 45
- Fertilizer USD 32
- Pesticides and fungicides - USD 30
- Others USD 20

I will be set to start the new planting season once I get this money.

Thank you.

    I still need a little more time before I start making large payments. I am hoping to do so very soon.

    First of all thanks for the facility. I have bought the farm inputs in readiness of the planting season. However, I need time before the money started streaming in and I can only repay this amount.

    I thank Zidisha members for funding my previous loan. I used the money to buy some farm inputs and this gave me a real boost in my farming activities. May you continue supporting such deserving cases.
