Loan Proposal

David am 28 years old works as a smallholder farmer. l farm a small plot of land in the green, lush
hills of kiambu, in the central region of Kenya. For the past 5 years l have been involved in mixed
farming and my main source of income has been growing maize, vegetables and tomatoes. l also
keeps dairy cows. I have been able to provide nutritious food for my family.
Although l have made profits selling a variety of food crops, l have faced with the challenge of timely
delivery of produce to the market. This challenge have not made me give up; “I have to do something for
my self to increase my lncome . I come from a remote
village that has poor feeder roads, and transporting my produce to market has been a challenge, which
is why l have suffered so many losses. Perishable products such as milk, vegetables and tomatoes
require timely delivery to the market if you are to fetch a high price, and through this loan I am going
to achieve my dream and goals. Accessing a financial solution for young people in Kenya is an uphill battle but
I feel relieved to know that there are institutions such as zidisha that help people so
that they can gain respect and equality. The benefits of this loan are astronomical because I will
never suffer losses due to delay in delivery of produce to the market and also, lwill increase my
sales volume because l will be able to transport more goods to the market. a young man who is
making a change for myself and for others in the community because l intend to employ someone
who will be riding the motorbike and helping in farm work. With your loan, l will improve my living
conditions and assure my family of a secure future.
Like I, many poor smallholder farmers await for your help. Get inspired, and make money
