Am Gabriel, I live in Nairobi in Zimmerman estate. I am 25 years old. Currently am in a student in jkuat where I study agribusiness. I have a younger sibling who is currently in high school. Since we only have our mother to rely on at times the finances get a little challenging. So I decided to do something I deem manageable and something that may not affect my studies. So I rented a small piece of land out town where I plant kale which I sell to local people.
I have a farm where I plant kale or in other terms sukumawiki. This type of vegetable is widely consumed and its a guaranteed money maker.
I have done this for three years now and it really boosts me in paying my school fees and it's not time consuming.
I harvest the kale at least twice a week and I. Can sell at least KES 3000 per a harvest. This gives me KES 24000 a month, after deductions of all the expenses I can say I make a profit of KES 10000 a month.
I use my profit to pay for my hostel fees and other little expenses I incurred and save any amount left.
I would like to add more farms I the future and do this as a large scale in the future.
So ensure longer productivity I spray my crops to keep pests out. This helps me get healthy harvests and longer productivity in my crops. This loan will help me to get the pesticide I need to spray the kale. I hope you will fund my loan to help me do this.
Thanks for the opportunity in Zidisha.
