About Me
I am the last born in our family of eight. I grew up in the country side in the central region of Kenya where i started my basic education at the age of six. Since my home is next to the local school at a tender age when i joined nursery school i used to think the school was part of our homestead. After eight years i did my basic primary certificate exam and proceeded to a local Secondary school where i later sat for my secondary certificate exam.
After achieving my secondary certificate i couldnt proceed to the next level due to financial difficulties. I therefore started performing as an actor in our local institutions including churches, schools and in other functions. I also trained
young kids in acting and music at our local Presbyterian church. During that duration i went on with very much difficulties since i mostly volunteered going on without a pay. At some functions which i acted for payment i could wait for months to get my due only to note that i was corned.
During the time i was training young kids in music i met a well wisher who helped get an employment as an elementary school teacher. This is where i was able to save some money to pay for a mobile phones technician course. After completing my course I was employed in Thika town as a technician. Two years later i felt i had enough experience to open my own small workshop. I therefore proceeded to rent a small shop near Thika town main bus stage where i operate.
I also run a wifi hotspot in my shop that was intalled and I was made an agent. I am paid in commissions each and every month.
My Business
After completing my secondary education, I can count several areas where I had tried to invest, that is from farming, bakery, hatchery to films and music production.
I have now gathered enough experience in several fields after going through alot like in the year 2018 I tried a hand in farming and had about two acres of cabbages. I counted total loss but I now boast of experience.
In phone repairing business that I have now done for about ten years I know where the meat is sweet.
I get my income from servicing and also mainly from selling phones spares.
Loan Proposal
I have a medium incubator where i hatch my chicks.
So far i have about one hundred birds two months old.
With the challenge in expensive and below standard chicken feeds in our market am planning to make my own feeds of high nutrition so as to lower the cost of production enhance their growth too.
With the loan i will purchase;
Maize germ 20 USD
Bran 16 USD
Fish meal 10 USD
Lime 4 USD
Bone meal 7 USD
Cotton 10 USD
Sunflower 13 USD
Assorted additives 20 USD
Am hoping to make a big difference in my poultry farming when i get the loan.
Dear lenders am looking forward to your support to make my dream come true. Thank you.
