About Me
I am an entrepreneur , a nutritionist by training. I have worked variously formally and informally. I run a start up called Glofha general supplies and a women empowerment group called kaleluya women self help group. Besides this I run a business of money transfer and rental units which I have been slowly progressing thanks to Zidisha.
I come from a very humble back ground but discipline , hard work and honesty has really shaped my life and blessed my fortunes.
My Business
I run a dairy farm now with 2 Fresian cows which calved in Dec , I sell milk and use that for feed and save the rest. I equally farm maize and beans and other vegetables in a 2 acre piece of land .
I have rental units that give me a regular monthly income that support me and my family.
Loan Proposal
I run an electronic money transfer which has been performing farely well before the pandemic. During this season i tried a hand on providing internet services alongside mpesa (elctronic money transfer) and it did so well. So i am planning to add one more computer and possibly a printer to be able to provide and grow the shop slowly to a cyber cafe.
a second hand computer will cost me ksh 20000 and a printer will cost ksh 7000 ,i equally need an internet router which goes for ksh 12000
Income Source
Internet usage is so much on demand right now and i have been able to see it firsthand. Besides that my agricultural business was not affected by the pandemic as i have been supplying farm produce to the market without failure. At the moment am looking forward to harvesting beans which already has a ready market .
