About Me

Thank you very much for offering me financial support that enable me maintain the required amount of stock in my business. Thank you once again. In my second time borrowing I intend to acquire more phosphorus rich feeds for my dairy cows.
The business is located in rift valley province, Nakuru county Kenya.
The business is now three years old.

My Business

Three dairy cows producing an average total of 20 litres per day.
One litre is sold at kshs 40.
I make on average 800.00 per day.
Total costs per day is 400.00.
Market demand is on an upward trend and subject to increase as a result of population increase.
Going forward I intend to increase the number of dairy cows in order to keep pace with the rising demand.

Project Proposal

3 dairy cows producing an average of 20 litres of milk per day.
Due to dry spell we are currently experiencing over here, I had financial challenges acquiring recommend feeds for my animals.
Over the last 2 months I have found Zidisha which came in handy and has remained a reliable partner.

    I really appreciate your support good people.
    I will use part of the money to purchase some construction items such as cement and ballast to be used in dairy structure repairs and improvement (30%). 70% will go towards purchase of nutrients rich feeds for the lactating cows.

    Thank you for stepping in to help me purchase inputs for my small dairy project. This came in handy to ensure there will be a constant supply of the inputs to the near future. I'll work hard to repay on time. Thank you.

    I take this opportunity to sincerely thank all the people who stood by me during these past difficult months of February and march. It's been quite challenging even to repay the little amount as earlier agreed.
    I therefore sincerely apologize to everyone over any form of inconvenience caused. I am now on a recovery track and I believe the long outstanding amount will soon be settled in full.
    The loan cushioned me against the adverse effects of draught. I did not loose any one of my three cows, milk production declined by more than half.
    Once more I say thank you and God bless you all.
    Regards

    Hello good people in Zidisha, I received 6221.00 2 weeks ago and was able to acquire more nutrient rich feeds to maintain milk production in my animals during this dry spell.
    Am in the process of repaying the loan and highly likely I'll repay it sooner than scheduled.
    Thank you and warm regards.

    I thank all the zidisha members for being of great help to each of us, truly, when people come together great things happen.
    I bought animal feeds that lasted me one month, therefore I was able to maintain consistent production of milk. Thank you good people.

    Thank you for accepting to fund my dairy farming project. I will use the funds to purchase hay and mineral salts for my 3 cows. This will really help me maintain constant production through this dry spell.

    Thank you so much for approving this loan, it will greatly help me purchase wheat bran and a litre of molasses. This will increase milk production and boost my revenue. Thank you very much.
