About Me

I am John Ngasaki Leshan or Meng'orokini, i am 32 years old married with two children. i was born in Impopong village in Transmara sub county in Narok county Kenya. I am a farmer, i farm tomato,maize and beans. Becouse we are eight siblings and our land was so small i sold my only cow and moved to Kajiado county in place called Rombo. I do farming here by use of farrow irigation. I am working hard in this farm though i luck fund, tomotoes require alot inputs like agrochemicals and farterliser. I am farming in half acre farm. If my good friend in zidisha aproved my first loan i will be able to a new viriety tomato variety which i have been advised by my agriculture officet the variety do good in this area of Rombo. The new variety seedlings will cost me 90 us dollars of which if zidisha grant me around 55 US dollars after deducting membership fee. me and wife can raise 45 US dollars. I promise to repay my loan on time as i am a man of intergrity thanks and may God bless you as you approve my loan request.
