About Me

I grew up in Nyeri a town in central kenya.I went to Nyamachaki pri before joining Giakanja boys.Growing up was tough since I grew up in an estate next to a Ghettoh but I still managed to be disciplined.In high school I was the captain and CU chairman.After high school I started I decided to be a photographer to make ends meet but it never worked.Thats when I ventured into farming but it is only 4years ago that I managed to build a greenhouse.I have one child a young girl aged two months.My hobby is playing football and swimming.

My Business

Am a businessman currently based in Nairobi Kenya.I have ventured into some businesses one of them being a greenhouse and a taxi business.I started 4 years ago and I have seen the businesses grow and at the moment I wish to expand them.I believe in starting small and growing big that is why I dnt mind starting with the min 500 kshs loan.I believe in building trust to everyone I meet.In the greenhouse I have planted tomatoes and they are doing well.The cost of production includes water,seeds and pesticides.I use my profits by reinvesting it back to the greenhouse.I am planning to expand it in the near future.

Loan Proposal

I have a greenhouse sized 25m by 30m.I have planted tomatoes in the past and they did well.Am looking for a small loan of 500kshs to buy the seeds to plant again.Once I start harvesting the money will be enough to expand the green house.Am looking at 40m by 50m.
