Seeds and farm inputs for 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

When the funds are acquired, they will be used to purchase seeds and seedlings for planting. First beans and groundnuts. We will also purchase farm implements at a later date. The aim of this project is to expand the income generating activity base for Daraja Community Organization to help it implement its programs which include; Educational Support for Orphans and Vulnerable Children, Youth and Women Empowerment projects among others.
