About Me

I am an entry level counselling psychologist a holder of Bachelor's degree in counselling psychology. I am a young,goal focused agri-prenuer.I ventured in dairy farming immediately after I completed my bachelor's degree. From my HELB loan saving I managed to purchase a dairy cow and a heifer..my passion for agriculture is just starting and I see myself beginning my own dairy farm in 5 years time..I am also passionate in helping youth in my locality believe in themselves and promoting a depression free living amongst them in a midst of so many psychosocial crisis. If supported financially,socially and practically I would soar to great heights in the dairy industry

My Business

I rear a dairy cow(holstein fresian)and a heifer 1½years .from my dairy cow I am fetching 11 litres of milk in a day an average of 300litres in a month..from these proceeds i have managed to venture in chicken rearing too.i have a total of 60 birds.. 30 laying eggs.30 chicks 2 month old. I project to triple the number of birds by end of the year and also with support and funding I anticipate keeping a second dairy cow. This business has helped me make ends meet and also support my family

Project Proposal

I will use funds from my second funding to buy 100 one day old chicks for my farm. Previously I bought 50 chicks and after 1½weeks I sold them out.in my next project I intend to increase both the output and commitment to the larger goal

    I thank the entire zidisha family and most importantly my backers for the previous project.i managed to purchase one day old chicks and like fate would have it. A customer showed up with interest of the chicks bought at exactly 1½weeks old. I sold the chicks with and made a profit of 40Usd during this time.i intend to buy 100 chicks for my next project way up from the previous 50. This will not only keep me busy but also help me raise a much higher profit. The funding has been a eye opener and I hope to continue unlocking more goals
