Daraja CBO agriculture project

Entrepreneur

About Me

My name is Kennedy Oloo.
I grew up in Nairobi, Kibera slums. I am a teacher by profession.
I'm a cofounder of Daraja Community Organization in Ulafu Sub-location, Siaya County, Kenya.
I like getting involved in community projects e.g Youth Empowerment programs, environmental activities.

My Business

The project deals with selling farm produce , mostly cereals and vegetables to local community and institutions. Cereals and vegetables form basic food requirement within the community and are highly in demand.
I chose this project because of the availability of land which can be used for the farming project and also ready market for farm produce.
The costs involved purchase of certified seeds, farm yard manure from neighboring community, farm implements and labour costs. Revenue comes from sales of farm produce.
The main aim of this project is to be an income generating activity to support the Daraja CBO which supports Orphans and Vulnerable Children, and promote Youth and Women Empowerment programs in Siaya County, Kenya.

Project Proposal

Daraja Community Organization plans to expand its farming project. The funds will be used to buy farm inputs and pay for the cost of hired labour. Part of it will be used to pay for the hiring of ploughing tractor. The main aim of this project is to support the Daraja Community Organization programs which include Orphans and Vulnerable Children support, Youth and Women Empowerment programs. The project will benefit the locals who will occasionally be hired as casual labourers. It will also form part of the food basket for our school feeding program.
