My name is Ekira Wairimu Thiong’o I live in Bahati in Nakuru. Ihave 8 children all are grown ups and they have finished school. I was born in muranga county in place called kiarutara. i went to a school called kiarutara primary school i went gatura secondary school. then after school i got married when i started farming business with my husband at nakuru kamiruri. later on started shop in my home which iam operating up to date. i had to work hard to raise money to start a shop because by then farming was not upgraded so i was getting small income. in the place where i live we are different communities(tributes) and we live peaceful.
I have a business of a shop in my plot where I live I sell different types of goods so it is a general shop where you buy almost everything that is needed in a house. This gives me an opportunity to serve many customers and so a good returns. I am able to do others cores in the home while still operating the shop so, like now I am able to keep another business of poultry layers chickens and also I am able to manage my farm and my cows. All this businesses give me an income of about 800000. This is the money which I use to feed my family and pay my monthly bills. i use my profit for home improvements , reinvestment in growing the business and others.
I would like to buy farm inputs like fertilizer seeds all of about keshs 100,000 which will be used to plant during this rainy season which have already started in our area I would be very grateful if all will raise the money before long to make use of the falling rain. I have prepared the land also have some money for weeding and other things. I have only in need of the money for buying seed and fertilizer.
