About Me

I am an entrepreneur , a nutritionist by training. I have worked variously formally and informally. I run a start up called Glofha general supplies and a women empowerment group called kaleluya women self help group. Besides this I run a business of money transfer and rental units which I have been slowly progressing thanks to Zidisha.
I come from a very humble back ground but discipline , hard work and honesty has really shaped my life and blessed my fortunes.

My Business

I run a dairy farm now with 2 Fresian cows which calved in Dec , I sell milk and use that for feed and save the rest. I equally farm maize and beans and other vegetables in a 2 acre piece of land .
I have rental units that give me a regular monthly income that support me and my family.

Loan Proposal

I want to use this loan in buying maize seeds for planting this month and beans. The farm is two hectares and it's at this season that we plant maize in our community. So am going to buy 10kg of maize seeds @$20, beans seeds 70kg @$56 and 2bags of Diammonium phosphate 50kg @ $33 and the remaining amount I will split to labour and farm preparation which entails ploughing and harrowing, I intend to hire a tractor for ploughing and harrowing which amounts to $50 I will hire 10 casual labourers during planting. Of which I will pay $2 each as a wage. I will appreciate you consideration to give me this loan. Thank you so much Zidisha.
