About Me

I was born in Busia county , I went to ukwala primary school and joined ukwala secondary school, i then joined KMTC for a coarse in clinical ,however i was not able to complete due to lack of money,my desire and hope is that one day, I raise enough money for my education.
after dropping out of college I went back home, my parents were really pitiful but could nothing because they had no money to support me. I knew i had to do something before it was too late ,and so started farming. Though I am still new it looks promising.
I am a basketball player and love watching basketball and soccer,during my free time.

My Business

I grow tomatoes in my farm,and so my business provides high quality tomatoes to my clients. I sale my tomatoes to neighbors and local market.
Tomatoes are essential vegetables that anyone can afford,most people fear growing it because of lack of knowledge on how to go about the diseases.
I choose this business it was the most profitable business i could manage with my meager resources.
My costs are $100 in a month and my revenues are $300 in a month depending with the season.
I use money to save for my school fees ,invest back to business and take care of our family.

Loan Proposal

Dear lenders, I am requesting for a to buy manure in bulk for my tomato farm, I will use the $50 loan to purchase a lorry of fertilizer for top dressing and planting. This will be much cheaper compared to buying a wheelbarrow at $4 . I would really appreciate you kind support. Thanks in advance.

    Hello Stephen
    Good luck with your application - as a child I loved tomatoes and remember how we ate them as if they were apples.
    Last year I grew some in my little back garden for a friend who loves them - the two plants went mad and gave me so many tomatoes I was able to share with my neighbour and other friends and even freeze so many for cooking - they were absolutely delicious and this year I plan on growing more.
    I look forward to hearing your updates and success story.
    God bless
    Angelina
