About Me

I was born in Olenguruone in 1987. I started my schooling in 1991 in Kiptenden Primary School where I earned my KCPE and then proceeded to Amalo Secondary School. During this time, I struggled to maintain myself in pocket money and I helped my parent while on holiday. After schooling, I managed our livestock (cows) which are liked and the care of which is most practiced in our culture.
I want to have 2 to 3 kids. I like surfing and travelling.

My Business

I buy and sell milk. Milk is one of the most in-demand foods and a source of income to farmers. This is why I opt to buy milk from farmers. I boost the price to receive more income. Where the dairy plant buys at a lower price at $0.32, I buy at $0.37 and sell at $0.45. This income mainly goes to school for school fees and other expenses.

Loan Proposal

With the new loan I will buy a fridge of a capacity to hold milk up to 100 litres ,more milk for me to diversify,inputs for making yoghurt and sour milk and for advertising new product,with the new products yoghurt and sour milk where my community people like it its more rich in nutrients and more sweet and its price is higher than for milk thus more income,I expect more income where I will be selling milk at $0.4 ,sour milk at $0.5 and yoghurt $0.7 this will enable a profit increase to $15 per month and more as I increase my milk buying .

    Judith,
    I wonder what went wrong with your plans. You have had good track record and with this loan, you have missed all your payments.
