About Me

My name is Julius Ndegwa Kinuthia. I was born and brought up in Muranga, one of the 47 counties of Kenya. This is a farming area where we have two rain seasons. We grow food crops such as maize, beans and potatoes as well as cash coffee which is the main cash crop in this area.

I am married with one child who is two years old and yet to decide what he wants to be in future. We are a happy family though we do not have much material wealth but we work very hard to improve our livelihood.

My Business

I am a farmer and this is what I have done since I left school more than 10 years ago. I grow food crops for now but I hope to grow cash crops in future if I manage to get a bigger piece of land.

I also keep chicken and I am a proud owner of 2 cows. These are very important because I am able to sell eggs and milk and get paid on daily basis. I use this money to meet the many needs of my family.

My weekly income from this venture is about USD 40 but this can go up significantly when I harvest the crops.

Loan Proposal

The last loan helped me increase the number of chicken. Now the hard part is feeding them because I need a constant supply of chicken mash to keep them strong and healthy.

The purpose of this loan is to buy chicken feed that will last me for 3 weeks. This will be a big relief for me and it will give me time to attend to other farming activities without stress.

Thank you.
