About Me
I am a holder of a Diploma in Environmental Studies and currently undertaking a Bachelor of Arts degree in Bible and Theology. I am married with children and looking to establish a farm to raise fresh produce for a huge urban market in Nairobi. I have worked for Nairobi Hospital’s finance department and at Wells Fargo and its sister company Fargo Courier before I left to start on Bible training. I love expository preaching and strongly believe that this is the divine plan to mentor and provide spiritual nourishment to today’s youth and adult alike. I split my time three ways: between my family, farm and fellowship.
I live in Nairobi and I have substantive farming space around our family house, where I already have a strong fellowship gathering. I am currently using the garden as a trial plot to showcase the viable potential of growing vegetables for sale.
My Business
Fuelled by the success of my little kitchen gardening from my first Zidisha loan, I wish to expand production to meet demands. I will need to build more protective structures (wooden frame and net) on my urban farm.
I will use 40 dollars to purchase netting material and poles to build another 10x10 ft protective structure around my cherry tomatoes. The wooden structure will also double up as a frame for climbing strings to develop tomato vines, hence better crop production and management. It turned out that cherries are more resistant to pests, so I have decided to go organic with guano fertilizer (six 50kg bags at 20 dollars). A good roll of twine will cost another 10 dollars. I will also install a 30 dollar micro-irrigation array of pipes to make watering efficient.
