Am Eligah nyabuto from eldoret a region in the rift y valley parts of kenya, I was born in Nyanza province later transfer to rift y valley in search of employment.
I went to Kebirigo primary school, cardinal Otunga girls high school and Eldoret polytechnic.
After polytechnic i decided to hold back in Eldoret town and search for employment i late was employed as a cleaner at supermarket.
I later got married and joined my husband in farming we own a 6 acre piece of land were 2 acres is for crop farming and the rest for lease.
I love Eldoret and the culture of my husband i have learned kipsigis language though it was not easy but i can now speak both my language and husbands language in fluent.
I practice small scale farming for a living, i plant kale's, maize and cabbages for sell this season i have had issues with money and have not utilize my farm well.
I found a passion for farming after my neighbor bought a new lorry from sell of tomatoes this encouraged me so much. I opt to save enough capital and one day plant tomatoes as my neighbor is willing to show me the market place and customers.
On good plantation and harvest i make an average of 200 to 250 us dollars a month.
I put back my profits to the farm to cater for next plantation and support of family basic needs.
Once granted the loan of 396 us dollars am going to buy two Asia dairy cows at a cost of 198 us dollars each, This cows they are almost to deliver as i target to be selling milk to a local milk processing farm, The cows will be feeding on the farm remains, I target to produce 10 liters of milk a day from the two cows, The milk i will be selling at 35 Kenya shillings per litter, I will be making 350 Kenya shillings a day which is 105 us dollars a month.
With this income i will be able to pay my loan and fully support my farming project.
Thank you.
