About Me

I am 57 ears old, married to one wife with five grown up sons and daughters and with four grand children. The last born is married and therefore only one daughter is still at home engaged in her own business.
I am the founder of Harvest Army Church in Kenya which has already applied for registration and Jesus Alive Centre which is a ministry of the church.
Last year I found Harvest Army International Seminary which offers training in different theological fields especially to pastors and ministers from indigenous churches around the country especially North Rift, Nyanza and Western. I am a doctorate of theology graduate from Christian Life teachings in USA.
I live in Shirika Estate along Old Uganda Road .From Town you board Matatu to Maili Nne ,alight at Road block take a rough road to the right besides Kings Highway Church.On reaching Old Uganda Road you Turn right towards Moi University West Campus, first turn to the left third plot.
As a family we are running a small poultry farm at our home compound, this enables us supply eggs to few shops around and provide meat and eggs to the family and customers around the neighborhood.
I am a conference speaker and likes reading the bible and traveling to different places in and outside Kenya.Thus I have traveled to Europe ,America ,West and even Central Africa.

My Business

As stated when I was giving my Biography, I am the Director of the Seminary and also works with my wife in the poultry farm.
The Poultry farm has been in existence for over three years . We supply live chicken to the neighbors and also eggs . Due to consistency since we started we have a stable customer base.
The business is profitable because there is high demand for white meat and especially the local chicken which is what we are keeping and also the eggs which are preferred by most people.
The main challenges are diseases and feed which are very expensive especially when the birds are few in number.
My typical monthly cost of running the business is US$220 while gross profit or income before these expenses is usually approximately US$450.
I believe that the funding will come because if I get it now I will be able to buy many birds in readiness for the market.

Loan Proposal

I would like boost my poultry farm in my farm. My PROPOSAL is that if given the loan I will use it as follows:-
1-Buy stock of broilers at US Dollars 60
2-Buy feeds for the broilers US Dollars 30
3-Medication i.e vaccines US Dollars 10
My target is to stock broilers though I have been dealing with local chicken I believe that I will be able to sell them at a higher price keeping in mind that we are entering into Christmas Festive season and in my country the demand is high during that season and also ,these time I have chosen broilers because they only take six weeks to mature. I am in position of paying back the loan without any difficulty given funding.Looking forward to your wise consideration thank you

    Dear lenders,

    I am grateful for the loan you gave me. I have been to increase my feeds for the chicks and the number of chicks has also increased that's giving me more eggs.

    Thank you so much and be blessed more abundantly.

    Dear lenders,

    I am grateful for the loan that you gave. I was able to buy feeds for the chicks and also increase the number of chicks. Because I deal with local breeds I know that by Christmas they will be ready and will be able to sell at good price.

    Once again, thank you for funding my loan fully.

    I bought local chicks which are still growing and they are not bringing any income as of now.

    I hope that once they start laying eggs then I will be able to increase the installment.

    Thanks in advance for your understanding and cooperation.

    Hi lenders, I am happy for what you lent me. Being that I am involved in poultry farming I bought some chicks and feed and also drugs.

    The rains have come and during this time you can loose all the chicks but I am happy that I have drugs and will be able to take of care this problem.

    At the moment I am dealing with local chicken, Thanks so much for lending me the money I am sure that with this I will be able to improve on my interest from the sale of and the chicks when the comes to sale them.

    i am confident that I will be funded after adding these photos for you can see for yourselves how the number is small following the death of the chicks as a result of the disease.

    As we approach Christmas, if i get the funds now it will be at the right to bring chicks in preparation for the good price during that time.
