My name is Jester Moomba. I am happily married and I have four children with my husband. I am a very motivated person and lately I have been going to adult education classes to improve my English as well as learn some other subjects. I am very involved in my church and I also enjoy listening to the radio.
Right now my business is in farming and livestock. I currently grow maize, cowpeas, sweet potato, and groundnuts. I also now have a garden with watermelon, rape, peri-peri, cabbage, and okra. And I also raise chickens and cattle. However what I would like to be doing is selling food supplies in my community, things like soya, kapenta, dried fish, and other long lasting relishes. To do this I plan on selling livestock to raise the money.
With this loan, I intend to buy and sell goats and chickens so that I can raise more capital to start a business. What I want to be doing is selling different types of relishes that are not available in my village, such as dry fish, kapenta, and soya pieces. No one else is currently selling these items and I could draw a lot of business.
