About Me

I am a Kenyan citizen born in Mt Elgon Kenya. Through Hard work, I have managed to achieve the highest level of education at a young age. I am passionate about farming since childhood. In whatever I do, I always aim to be a role model to others.

My Business

I decided to venture into farming after realizing that formal employment was limiting my potential to grow. I have a farm and mainly focus on horticultural products. It has been raining in my area in last few weeks. Th unusual rainfall extended into January and February has boasted this year's production expected. I need to put fertilizer on my banana farm to improve on the production

Project Proposal

As usual, this time of the year marks a time for increased agricultural activities to prepare for the crop season. With one month to the start of the rainfall season, my plans to secure inputs are now underway.

    I plan to buy severag grain storage bags to protect my yield (maize and beans). At the moment, we have very heavy rainfall that might destroy my yield (post harvest loss)

    El Nino finally materialised, and with enhanced rainfall, I managed to secure inputs early and am now expecting a bumper harvest. Thanks to the support from Zidisha family

    The funds will be used to support agricultural labour and purchase additional top dressing fertilizers for the current cropping season which started in early March and is now on course.
