On-time repayments
7 installments • 86%
I am 28 years old, a graduate with a bachelor degrees in Environmental Science. Since childhood I have beat all odds to reach my level of education, being an orphan. I used to work for people in order to pay my school fees. On top of that I was growing vegetables, sell and provide school fees and food for my siblings.
With all these hardships I managed to get government sponsorship that enabled me join university, after excelling in high school exams. I am a role model to my two siblings who are soon joining higher learning through my effort.
After graduating, getting a job was not very easy so I continued growing vegetables with my savings from loan I was being given back in the university. I also managed to start poultry farming, where I was keeping chicken, their droppings utilized to improve soil fertility for the crops I was growing.
Returns ranged from Ksh. 80000 to Ksh. 130000 in every six months
A quarter of the return was saved, half of the remainder was used for my siblings schooling and the other half for basic needs.
Through networks, a colleague connected me with a telecommunication company where I now sell its products in a shop I started.
We have come together, a group of 6 individuals to start the business. Roughly to start the business, we require about Kshs 50,000. So the loan will solely used to venture into commercial poultry farming
