About Me

I am 36 yrs old tech enthusiast, married with two kids. I have a degree in Information Technology and work full time in a computer shop in the bustling city of Nairobi in central Kenya. As you can imagine there are very few green spaces. I am have passion for nature and animals. I try to spend as much time as I can in the country and generally appreciate a farming lifestyle and value of hard work with one's own hands.

My Business

In my spare time, I try to do a little farming here and there. I also have ambitions for livestock rearing. For this year I have ambitions to rear traditional chicken which are hardy and resistance to disease. I have recently acquired a small piece of land in the outskirts of Nairobi for this project. I have ambitions to develop it for a chicken rearing project - put up a structure and sink a well for water. Since my project location is quite close to the city, market should not be problem once i go live.

Loan Proposal

As i have expended my business into procuring two week old chick for rearing, i have found that my current chicken coop is inadequate for rearing younger chicks. With the proceeds of this loan, intend to improve a section of the coop to allow for rearing of two week old chicks and older before moving them to the main coop. I intend to purchase some insulation material for the walls, brooding charcoal pots that can be used to provide heating for the chicks and smaller sized drinkers and feeders. I have estimated that this will cost about 250USD. This should help me to improve survival rates of the chicks when procured and overall improve my profitability.
