My name is Lucy Wamaitha,I was born in the now Nyandarua County in a

Family of 5,and I am the first born.I went to Nyathuna primary School

and later joined Olkalao High School for my secondary Education.I

later joined Eldoret Polytechnic for a Diploma in Sales and Marketing,

After graduating i secured a job in Nakumatt Supermarket in Kisumu

Branch ,where i worked for Six years untill the management of the

supermarket decided to lay of some employees and i was among those who

were laid off.I decided to venture into farming as it was the only

available option at ,I have done it with passion and its paying off.

I have two kids and they are in lower primary school and they both

want to be commercial farmers in future. I always encourage them to

work hard in school so that they can get the best life can give.

I love singing and i lead the Choir in our local Church,i do also love

making new friends and reading journals that talk mostly on Dairy

farming.

I am a small scale dairy farmer,and I keep three dairy cattle ,I like

the cows so much and i call them by their names joy ,mukami and

lucia.I do Zero grazing which is so good for the Dairy farming as the

business ,i have planted nappier grass to my small farm and i do buy

Hays and molasses which i chop and mix them for the cows to produce

more milk,i have employed one servant who helps me around the farm.I

always sell my Milk at fair price and this gives me a competitive

edge,I also make sure my milk is clean and do not add water to make

it more.This has gained me trust on my clients and confident.I also

allow clients to take milk on credit so that they can pay at the end

of the month.

I make an average of $220 in a good month and use the profits to pay

for the school fees for my siblings and kids and plan for the

future.Thank you very much for your kind support.
