I am 33years old,A God fearing gentleman,married to a very beautiful wife Ann Muli who works in an NGO here at Busia and we are blessed with two pretty Kids Jason 5 years and Amy 2years...From the society where i come from(Kitui central)we have very fertile land but the water its the biggest challenge..my dream is that i work hard so that in future i be able to Drill commercial water not for my family alone but for the whole society.am born in a family of nine and i am the last born in the family currently i am the one taking care of our old loving parents...they have been a tool in my life for they indeed encourage me in my day to day activities.at my free time a love reading motivational books like currently am reading one titled "Be Inspired before you Expire"by Pepe Minambo.
As you understand my background i am a Kamba but i stay at Busia-Western kennya.I was working with a clearing and forwarding firm-Bollore Africa Logistics but a time come when the company decided to lay off some employees and i was among the employees who were affected..Thank God we were paid all our dues.the money which i got was my starting capital..i deed research and realized the maize at uganda side are very cheap so i started buying then taking to our place kitui during the dry spells..the biggest challege is the the business is a seasonal business..but as i grow in my biseness,i have identified another big business of importing photocopying papers from China then selling locally...its a business that needs a lot of capital but am determined to do it by 2017.i have big Dreams because i believe in myself and i know God will enable me...Zidisha will take me through my dreams..
Currently i have been selling dry maize only and i project to diversify my business and bring variety of cereals into my business.If Zidisha funds me the $51 which i have applied for,i will top up the remaining balance of$29 to make it $80 buy a bag of dry beans,add to my stock where by from this one bag i will make a profit of $25 in a weeks time.Then after i have repaid my first loan i continue adding more and more stock to my stock.
