About Me

I enrolled for secondary school at Kirobon high school where i did my KCSE completing it the year 2010.
I joined University the following year at 2011 and completed at 2015. I studied Bachelors of Commerce.

I had to work part time jobs to help raise my university fees. Some of the jobs included being a bartender, waiter, doing data entry work, doing homework and assignments for the senior students at our university and being a barber.

Working overtime was a challenge as i had little free time to attend to my studies. As a result i oftenly had to study all night or wake up early early in the morning to study and complete assignments.

Fortunately my efforts were fruitful as i managed to graduate in time with good grades.

I have always wanted to be fully independent and have financial freedom.

The kipsigis culture promotes and encourages living together in peace and harmony.

My Business

Am employed at the leading entertainment service provider in the country by the name Multichoice Kenya ltd where i work as Quality control assistant. Basically that entails ensuring that the decoders or devices are in good condition before they are sold to customers.

On the other hand it also involves screening of the devices before they go to repair so as to ensure only faulty devices are sent to repair. The same procedure is repeated once the faulty devices are repaired to confirm they are indeed repaired and now functioning.

Besides that i do farming with a close friend of mine. We cultivate onions. Currently we have a one acre farm in Ol Kalou that we planted onions in March. They should be due in early November.

I can safely say i have two sources of income. That is being employed and doing the onion farming.

Loan Proposal

I have already done the planting bit so i will use the funds to help with the weeding and watering. This should be done twice in two weeks.
This funds will be used for that purpose. I managed to get a watering can so i will not need to buy a new one. The funds will be specifically used to pay the guy who will be doing the weeding and watering.
If the weeding and watering is not done. It may negatively affect the yield quantity. I do not wish to compromise on that.

    Hi guys,
    Let me take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for approving and funding my loan.
    The funds will be very useful in covering labour and operational costs. That is watering and weeding coriander to increase the possibility of increasing the harvest.
    Thank you once again.

    The loan i just completed has really been helpful. I just moved from farming coriander on a quarter acre farm to half an acre which is really exciting. It seems like am growing.
    If my projects are not wrong i should be farming on one acre within the next few months.

    Hi,

    The loan i previously borrowed helped me grow coriander which i should be harvesting in the next few weeks.

    I have benefited on a personal and an economic level.

    Hi guys,

    I got the funds. Kes 578.00. I plan to use the money to pay for labour. If some money is left i will purchase more onion seedlings.

    Thank you Mr Hans Moor for the approval of my loan request. Your assistance has come in handy. I will pay for labour to weed the onions. I'll also be able to pay my caretaker.

    With that i'll be certain of the well being of the onions.
