Am a proud father of five, two daughters and three sons. Am a successful chicken farmer for the last five years with ten youth employed and I have been able to educate all my children to university level, but I have been unable to expand due to luck of access of loan facility. Then I was told about zidisha and this was an eye opener and also a chance to succeed and expand on my new venture on onion farming. This will not only make an impact to my life but also to the country and also to the community by creating more jobs to the youth.
As I have mentioned above I have been a farmer for the past five years. I have been keeping poultry and this has been a great success as I have been able to educate my children to university level but have been unable to expand to other ventures. I have unused 1/4 acre of land that I want to plant red onions as the market is unexploited and in demand. This is a venture that I had done before and was successful but on small scale now the 1/4 acre this will bring 1000kg and will sell them a kg at 50 sh on the lower scale. I believe with zidisha platform this will be another great success story and another success from zidisha
The loan that I will be given am going to purchase fertilizer and seeds. This will be a great opportunity for me to meet my year resolution as I want to focus on farming buy more lands and be a creator of jobs and secure food security in our country. This will not only impact my family but also the community at large as I will be able to provide work also to many young jobless men. I believe with passion that zidisha will be another platform to success.
