About Me

My name is Mary, I am married with 5 children. I am a farmer doing small scale farming in my farm. My eldest child is a boy who is 13 years old. He aspires to be a lawyer and other ones have not figured out what they want to be in the future.

My husband is also a farmer and we work together.

I am an active church members where I am involved in music evangelism. I spend my Sundays on such mission across my region.

My Business

I am a farmer who grows food crops for my family and a little more to sell in the local market. I also keep cattle and I have one dairy cow and two calves.

I sell milk to my neighbors and this gives me money that I need for running my family budget.

My business has grown exponentially of late, largely due to Zidisha credit and I am hoping to keep growing.

Project Proposal

I intend to use the money to buy a bag of fertilizer and animal maure for $50. I will use the balance to buy potato and maize seeds in preparation for the coming planting season.

I do rain-fed agriculture and the rainy season is around the corner. This credit will highly help me in my preparation. The crops will take between 4 to 6 months to mature but I will use income from my other activities to repay the loan before the crops mature.

Thanks you in advance for your generous funding.
