About Me

My name is Collins Rugendo. I live in Tharaka-Nithi county Chuka Estate. I came from a family of four in which am the second born. I live with my father since my mother passed away when i was in high school. I am a christian with Redeemed Gospel Church where I serve as a youth leader and a peer counsellor coordinator . I am also a motivational speaker. I went to Kangoro day secondary school and then Muranga University of Technology where I undertook Bachelors in Human Resource Management. I was able to raise my college fees through working on my farm as a farmer. Throughout my life I have had the passion for farming but due to inadequate funds I have been forced to work on a small piece of land available at home. The little i get from my farm has helped put food on the table for our family.

My Business

As a farmer i have been involved in this field for five years now. I mainly grow tomatoes, vegetables and onions. I sell my products to schools around and also take some to retailers in the market at Chuka town. Its my passion to plant and sell for money so that i can successfully achieve financial stability and also feed my family.

Project Proposal

I have already transplanted my seedlings and would like to buy a hose pipe to ease in watering my farm.

    The previous installment amount is to high for me at the moment since I just bought an asset which is yet to start generating any money.

    I want to thank all my lenders for making my project a success. I was able to expand the rabbit house into a modern structure. As we talk now I have a very spacious hutch ready for the new kittens.

    I take this opportunity to thank the zidisha community for your support, and in a special way thank the members who contributed in funding my project.
    This will help me in a big way to buy feeds for my rabbit as well as expand the hutch in preparation of the coming kittens.
    This will be a step forward in my farm. Thank you all again.

    Hello friends,
    Thanks alot for supporting me in my project. I received the funds but was not able to buy a knapsack sprayer since the amount was a bit low. I'm looking forward to buying it once I raise enough money. Again thank you.
