About Me

I was raised by a single mother who educated me through some hardship. I eventually completed my high school education and enrolled for a diploma in Information Technology at JKUAT.

After my education and with long months of searching for employment, I decided to start rearing rabbits and local Kienyeji chicken. I started rearing 2 agricultural rabbits and five Kienyeji chicken after undergoing a training seminar at the Ministry of Livestock. After a few months, my stock began increasing and in two years, I was farming a stock of 150 rabbits and 100 local Kienyeji chicken.

I come from the western part of my country where people only believe in getting employment and discourage self-employment. With my current livestock, I am able to sustain my family's needs and show how life can also be built from livestock keeping.

Currently I am married and I am blessed with a son. My hobby is watching documentaries, especially on farming techniques, and that is where I also get motivated. I also enjoy sports.

My Business

In my farming project, I produce and sell mature rabbits at a cost of 2,000 Ksh. and above, rabbit weaners at a cost of 800 Ksh., and rabbit manure at a cost of 50 Ksh. to local farmers. Chicken market goes at 1,500 Ksh. for cocks and 800 to 1,000 Ksh. for hens. A tray of eggs costs between 300 to 350 Ksh., whereas a one-month chick generates 200 Ksh. So now there if the production of food in many peoples homes.

Generally I keep rabbits and local chicken together with the ken-bro breed. My intention is to add to my stock of the layer chickens so as to increase the production of eggs. Out of the research that I have been able to carry out, there is a real need for chicken eggs within my own locality, and I want to sustain the market by at least rearing 600 layer chickens within the next six months.

Loan Proposal

With this loan, I will be able to buy feeds for my rabbits and chicken as follows:
Rabbit pellets two bags each at 24 usd = 48 usd
Local chicken two bags each at 23 usd = 46 usd
chick mash two bags each at 27 usd = 54 usd
This loan will increase the rate of production for my stock and also prevent death due to lack of food.
My production will increase in terms of eggs production and growth of chicks and growth of rabbit weaners.
