About Me

I am Gilbert Mwai Machira. I come from Nyeri County, Tetu constituency. I schooled at Seveenth Day Adventist Academy and later joined Mukurweini Boys' High School for my secondary education. I joined Glasan Computers College Gilgil where i did my ICT course. I have been working at Kenya Power Lighting Company under Omission and Maintenance department. It is in this career that i got the passion od rearing rabbits of which i got the skills from a friend of mine whom i had gone to repair elecctricity at his place.

The greatest hardship i went through in life is late salary payment which led me to start my own business of rabbit keeping. I saved the income i was earning and this enabled me start my own business.

The important thing with about where i live is that there is condusive environment and security is tight thus the greatest opportunity for my running of business.

My unique hobby is nature seeing and this has given me a passion for animals.

My Business

My rabbit keeping business has been doing well where i sell rabbit meat to great hotels in Nakuru and also individuals where rear rabbits as pets and also for meat since most people like rabbit meat.

I have been doing this job for quite a while whereby i am having a total of 24 rabbits. It has also been a way of passing time since during my leisure time i like working at the rabbit stalls, feeding them and making sure that the stall are sparkling clean.

I also make the environment thereof conducive and also fencing the area. I also get other income from an occupation i do as a computer teacher/instructor at Dantech Computer Services and Cyber cafe.

Loan Proposal

Hello great lenders, i would like to thank you for your great support you have given me during my previous loan. I was able to buy a mature female rabbit and it gave birth to 9 more rabbits. My purpose for requesting for another loan is to facilitate me while i construct another rabbit house. I would like to separate the young ones from their mother and the benefit for doing this is to enable the mother to recover on time and make the young ones independent.

    Hello, i have contacted Gilbert as he wrote to about the repayment plan and for the past two weeks he has been on track.

    He has been on paramilitary course and that made him delay in his repayments but he is now back.

    Please assist as i post a new loan.

    I purchased the materials for building another rabbit house which i did and have been updating you on the progress. The adding of another house has helped me a lot since my young rabbits have grown well and the parents as well.

    Dampness in the house has reduced since the more the rabbits were, the more the stalls got damped, so i really benefited a lot with the loan.

    Adding of the house gave the rabbits enough space to feed and play around hence growing at a very big rate and more fertile.

    The profit i made this time is great, it enable me to clear my outstanding loan balance before the due date and also do some other businesses on my farm. I have sold eleven (11) rabbits registering a great profit of the year since i have never sold that much since i started this business.

    My family members have benefited too with this business since i was able to set off the fees balances that were remaining.

    Thank you a lot.

    Hello lenders, hope you are fine..I would like to thank you so much for your continued support. I am now able to manage my rabbits since the young ones are separated from their mothers.

    In regard to this, separation has reduced dampness and the congestion that was there before.

    I really thank you so much.

    Hello, I am glad i am faring well with my rabbit keeping business. I bought one mature female and lucky enough the seller sold to me an expectant one so in a few days time i will have an increase in my stock since the rabbit will have given birth.

    Thank you for your continued support and the assistance you granted to me.
