About Me

I am a businessman and a small scale farmer too
Currently working in an IT firm and doubling it up with agriculture (cash crops) and chicken rearing for my day-to-day business to support my family too.
I am therefore applying for this loan to strictly help me acquire more materials for my businesses and my farm.
I started my business way back in 2012 and despite some struggles in the beginning I was able to stabilize more so because of this platform and am managing well at the moment.

My Business

Poultry farming and mixed farming.
I am venturing in rearing birds on my farm - mostly chicken and planting cash crops (for sale and use at home)
Currently I wish to expand the poultry house to accommodate more birds (chicken) for the upcoming holidays.

Loan Proposal

I will basically use the money I get to buy vegetable seeds considering vegetable performance and demand is so high during this period and in return this will increase the profits by about 28% I make and also it will help in supply of food crops to myself and the neighboring communities. The money I get will be distributed as follows:-
17.8 US Dollars for purchase of various vegetable seeds.
9.89 US Dollars for human labour and cultivating the land plus fertilizers
19.78 US Dollars for buying few heads of chicken
8.44 US Dollars for miscellaneous expenditure

    I much appreciate for the loan that I was last given, much as it took a while to complete the same due to reasons unavoidable, am now back on my feet and handling things well.
    Thank you team for giving me the opportunity to work with you

    Zidisha Team,

    Sorry for the delay in making payments.
    This has been majorly due to the fact that I have been unwell for most parts of this year and at one point I was hospitalized for about 4 weeks and the equally sunny periods that were experienced for most parts of January and February really had a negative impact on my business.
    I merely fully recovered from the said illness in mid last month (March) and I have been re-structuring for my business and I hope to work effectively with the team.
    Thanks for your support.

    The reason for the change is basically because a cousin was involved in a road accident and I together with several family members had to come together and raise some amount of money for his hospital bill, that's why I even did not manage to make my weekly payment for some weeks but I am promising to work on the same.

    I received an amount of Kshs. 9,654/=.
    I have used the amount to purchase new seeds and more heads of chicken for my business.
    I am so grateful to the Zidisha team for the support they are giving me in helping me achieve my goals.

    I will buy seeds for my farm and a few heads of chicken.
    It will boost my production hence an increase in my income.
    Thank you Zidisha for supporting me and my projects.

    I used the loan given by Zidisha team for purchasing seeds for planting and several heads of chicken.
    It improved me by expanding my client base, area of operation and my income too.
    The business investment has further improved by approximately Ks. 16.000/=; that is the reason I even payed more than 50%. (little did I know it will affect my next loan)
    I have used my profit for acquiring a calf.

    The reason for change in repayment is because there was an increase in my sales and thus would wish to increase my repayment.
    The investment I made with the loan is steadily bearing fruits and I am really grateful to the Zidisha team for helping me achieve that
