My name is Salome Kadivira I am a graduate teacher by profession .I am employed by the government but I also do dairy farming as an extra business activity to assist my parents educate my siblings that ate in school.I grew up in kakamega county my father was a teacher but now retired while my mum was a house wife.I am the first born in our family of 6 my other siblings ate still in school 4are in high school while 2are in college .as a child I grew up in hardship though my father was a teacher but with so many Dependants from their home since he was the only one educated and with a job .he always made us to go to the farm to do farming to get food and even get extra to substitute his income .we did horticulture and dairy farming my father became my mentor because he supported so many of my cousins by paying fees for them .my Hobie's are music basketball and drama.thus is what I do in school that I teach.I am married with 3kids that are. in primary and last born still breastfeeding my kids are still young but they dream of becoming one loves politics the other one wishes to be a pilot she is a girl while my first born is aboy.
My business is still young I am doing dairy farming on small scale I hope with the help of zidisha to do it on large scale so that I can support many kids like my dad go to school .I started the business with one cow that I bought as a crossbreed from the loan of our teachers Sacco.the cow gave birth to a female that is also now lactating right now I milk milk and sell to locals at0.5dollar per litre in a day I milk 20 litres giving me 10dollars in a day from one cow in a month one cow gives me 300dollars gross while net profit is 200dollars this is what I use to support my siblings in school by paying fees since my salary is not enough this is what I will use to pay zidisha loans as I grow the business.
I will buy some deworming drugs for my cow that will cost me 15dollats this will help my cow to improve in heath and hence increase in milk production .my profits will improve thus the increase will assist me to get more money to sport my siblings in buying books
