About Me

Am Nelson jason,I was raised in a family of 6 being the last born. my mother is a small scale farmer while my late father who died recently before I joined campus was a P1 teacher (primary school teacher).I chose to start a small scale plantation of vegetables which I sale to support my mum and also support my education and personal needs. currently I am in Kenyatta university main campus pursuing a degree in bachelor of education.My business helps me alot in paying rent,buying water,food and clothing.I have also bought a laptop out of the same business that helps me do my assignments in campus

My Business

It's afarming business that I plant vegetables such as sukuma wiki and spinach that I normally sell to to the supermarket and schools around.My customers prefer my vegetables since they are of good quality and I sell to them at a relatively cheaper price thus leading to high profits per harvest. It's normally costy to maintain the farm i.e changing the dripping pipes,buying fertilizer, and also the seedlings.I normally spend not less than 10000to achieve all this giving me a profit averaging between sh10000 and sh19000.

Loan Proposal

The loan will enable me to spray my crops with pesticides as well as the liquid fertilizer.The drips will enable me enlarge the production area.
