    Hi,receive my apologies for late repayment and being silent.the major issue was that i delivered my sugarcane to nzoia sugar factory.before payment was done,the government appointed the committee to look into the affairs and status of the management team for corruption allegetions,which resulted to suspending all financial transactions to suppliers till february 2019.there were allegations of ghost suppliers.sorry for inconvenience,will try my best to rebuild my image.

    Hi my dear lenders,I'm so much humbled for your great inspiration in my life.I will use 55dollars for CAN fertiliser purchase to top dress my millet crop,suitable for good quality fruits(millet bunches).15dollars will be used for manual labour.total 70 dollars.the 10 dollars will be paid to zidisha as credit payments.millet is a crop not majorly practised in my country Kenya as maize is our stable food.but due to the unpredictable climate changes in weather pattern,millet is best to survive,its demand for porridge is also beyond comparison.once again I give a big thank you for the loan support,I give God the glory for you people,may he repay you in the right measure.blessings.

    Hi esteemed lenders,I would like to notify you that I used the last loan to Purchase Urea fertiliser (75kg) for my millet acre of land.I already top dressed after weeding,now awaiting application of CAN, in the next 3 weeks,then harvesting in august.the urea was useful in improving the health of the crops,by making their stems large and strong enough capable to hold the millet bunch without breaking.the leaves are also wider and deep green for maximum photosynthesis.will give you updates till harvesting please.thanks.

    Hi beloved lenders,im xo greatful for your deep support.i will buy 75kg of urea fertiliser for my young millet one acre plant.this is a practise not so common in my village,but its products are like gold.in my home each of my 8 siblings has been brought up on millet porridge,a secret why we are very healthy and rarely sick.also millet porridge is highly demanded in hotels,my potential catch.millet is a very resistant crop to pests,and many people have not ventured into it,so this will boost my family income after only 3-4 months for crop maturity.75kg of urea goes at 65dollars.
