Am Esther wanjiku nyoro born and raised in Kenya Laikipia County a village known as karandi in a family of 4.

We lost our dad at the age of 3 being left with a single mother who was unemployed to cater for our daily and education expenses all by herself hence life becoming difficult even according a meal was not easy.

Despite the challenges and support from my elder siblings I managed to get education I achieved a bachelor's degree in business management finance and banking but getting a job became a challenge and and I started doing horticulture farming mainly cabbage and other vegetables

In my cultural area the climate is favourable for horticultural farming that's why I developed interest in farming and I also need income to cater for food and education for my kids who would want to get good education to be doctors in future

I intend to do large scale farming for cabbage, potatoes kales and spinach if an lucky to get funds from you which will be supplied to local and international markets

I require to buy farm inputs such as diesel pump and water pump and diesel for irrigation which costs around Ksh 200 000, I also require pesticide pumps seedlings, leasing a bigger portion of land as well as labour which will cost approximately ksh 500 000

Am passionate In farming and I have tried it in small scale and the returns are promising.

The cost of setting up the project is around Ksh 1 000000 whereby I will be getting a monthly income of Ksh 300 000 With a profit of Ksh 160 000 which I will re invest in the farm to increase the size of the project as well as education to further my expertise in agricultural sector.

Am looking forward to your positive response I hope you will help me through my project to achieve my dreams.

I intend to purchase cabbage seedlings for planting in my farm which will generate income for me and my family which will be harvested in three months time and get profit which will help me with school fees as well as house hold bills l.
