My name is Cosmas Nzilili. I work for a rescue centre for abandoned children. I hold a degree in finance and I work for Sikizana Trust for community Development in Kenya. Am married and blessed with five children. I grew up from a very poor family and at one spent sometime collecting scrapes on the street. I got a scholarship after performing well in primary and joined starehe boys centre from where I went to Nairobi university.
I started a rescue center to make no child ends up suffering like I did. The farming business is mainly for raising sustainable source of funds and food for the children.
I come from the lower eastern Kenya on the slopes of Chyulu hills. The people are always affected by drought hence they are very resilient and hard working. I have five own children with one already pursuing degree in hospitality. The boy, the four have shown interest ranging from mechanical engineering, medical doctor to electrician.
I have salary and farm outputs as source of income. In a month it is possible to raise 20000 shillings. Am paid a salary by Sikizana Trust for community Development where I am a founding Director and I combine with selling vegetables from my irrigation farm.
I have bought 2.5 acres of land to increase the land under irrigation. It is bushy and not fenced. Once finished, the project will increased my earning threefold. This loan will be used to hire labourers to clear it at $45.00 per acre.
