I am the second born in a family of six I completed my high school in the year 1995 did a course in computer, accounting and thereafter a diploma course in Business management .In my childhood days i would say it was quite different and unique compared to now days. Those were the days when playing was enjoyable, i remember playing all sorts of games including cooking using small home made jikos and thats why am a great cook since i was always played the role of a mother.The idea of starting the business came about when we acquired a family land in Shimba hills and we saw a great opportunity in opening an agrovet since we realized farming was a core activity in the area. I would say Coast people have a culture of the they own and they still uphold and value so much about they culture, for example circumcision which they do after the child is a week old unlike in our culture where i came from. My daughter who is in form three wants to be a mechanical Engineer while my son is who is in class eight wants to be a lawyer and the last is still very young. I love travelling alot.
Lastly i live in Mtwapa just a few metres from Kenol Petrol station which is located along Mombasa Malindi highway.
My business is an Agrovet which is a family business that has been running over five years now and we deal with agro chemicals, fertilizers, veterinary products and farm inputs. The goods we sell are useful because of the location of my business, which in Shimba hills Kwale County keeping in mind that this is a location where most people depend on farming as they daily activity. Generally the profit we make we reinvest in the business and for our family upkeep including school fees and general expenses. I am also employed as an office Secretary at Shaluma Enterprises which is located in Nyali, Mombasa dealing with transport and construction. But basically my biggest income comes from the business as to compared to my monthly salary.
I am planning to add more stock to my Agro vet business. My main focus will be to add veterinary products/ stock since we are in the dry spell and most farmers are mainly looking after they livestock and therefore more drugs are needed to boost my stock at the business. I will actually buy a number of items which include dewormers, syringes, multivitamins, milking salve, water for injection, Aesthetics and also inject-able drugs for preventing and curing various diseases. Approximately each box for the items named will cost me $5-$50. By adding more stock to my shop it will help me a great deal since I will be able to earn more profit and also it will make me maintain my customers because they will be able to get items they need at my shop. It will also help me raise school fees for my kids. I am expecting a profit of not less than $100 for the goods that I will purchase if granted this loan.
