Hello everyone. My team and I are really grateful for the support we've received from all our backers from different parts of the world. Our farm is now profitable and we have made great impact on the lives of the team employed on the farm and the team that works very hard in the city markets selling our produce. We have also made great impact on our customers who love the quality of our produce and the fact that we deliver right to their doorsteps. We have removed the middle-men and by doing that we guarantee consistency in quality and better prices for our customer as well as good margins for us. Last time we borrowed money to fund our seedling propagation nursery. We planted 10,000 cabbage seedlings. We have successfully transplanted these seedlings to the main farm as shown in the photos below. We shall sell these cabbages after 3 months at a projected price of 20 shillings per cabbage (200,000 shillings in total for al the cabbages - $ 1,300).

I've purchased a printer, which has enabled me to provide better service to my customers. Through this, I've attracted new clients and made my business more sustainable. Indeed, my income has increased significantly since making this important investment. The funds that helped me purchase the printer have provided me with the opportunity to grow my business and also support my day-to-day needs. Currently, I can meet my daily needs without heavily relying on business income. Additionally, I'd like to inform you that along with these achievements, my family and I have accomplished other successes too. My children are doing well in school, and we continue to enjoy life together. Regarding our community, it's delightful to see how our neighbors enjoy watching sports together. This has fostered a culture of unity and collaboration during such events, further strengthening our community bonds. Also, in our area, we take pride in our traditional holidays and other interesting events that make our neighborhood a great place to live.
