About Me

I am a lady of dignity, born and brought up in a village setup at a place called Elderma Ravine in Koibatek District, Baringo County. I was brought up there and schooled in the same place. I am from a very humble family, not very well off. I did my fourth form in the year 2005. God is faithful that my parents struggled to pay school fees for my education because of the situation of our family till i finished.

I am now doing my degree at Mt. Kenya University, which I am almost to finish by December. How I wish I will get the amount that is remaining to clear my school fees. After I am through with education, there is an opening somewhere where I will get a job immediately as I wait for my certificate.

My Business

I have a small business of selling my farm produce from my home village, which makes me earn some cash to pay my school fees. God is faithful that we have a small piece of land on which I grow maize and some vegetables. I also have one cow that produces some milk, which I sell locally to get some cash. I will be very grateful to Zidisha if funded so that I may be able to achieve my vision.

Loan Proposal

Zidisha team, thanks for making my vision to start to come true. I am now applying for my second loan that will help me add another cow to the one that already have. I want to become a large-scale farmer of dairy cows for milk production in the future.

I will buy one heifer, a small one that will cost me KSH. 40,000 (445 US dollars). I already have 250 dollars as a profit I got from the produce of the first loan. The addition of another cow will help me increase my livestock and also milk production. The money that I will get will help me look after my young family, for example, to cater for school fees and house rents. I am expecting my production to increase by 25 percent.

    am so overwhelmed with the way my business is expanding, my cow has increased its milk production by double within the last 2months it use to produce 5-8litres but now the least that it produces is 12litres per day, i believe all these is because have been able to increase its feeds and since it gets enough feeds and water in a day. God willing, i will add another dairy cow very soon because demand of milk is much higher so as i will be increased milk production, i will use profit that i have got from selling the milk and vegetables. all the benefit i have i thank zidisha lender for boosting my small business which soon i see it expanding more
