About Me

I was born in early 1980s, being number nine in family of 15 siblings. My father was a peasant farmer on one acre farm. We didn't get enough from the farm to sustain us for a year. We worked on peoples farm to meet our family needs. My mother was a house wife.
I went to village school, both primary and secondary. My parents could not raise my fee for a boarding school. Secondary school fees was paid through manual services rendered to the school by my father. I also used to bake bricks together with my brothers during holidays and evening after school to raise our fees.
With all the challenges we managed as a family by working hard in every activity i was involved in. My objective was to change the state of our family and the community. I am sure am on the right path of salvaging my people from poverty.
I entered into farming (commercial crop production), producing maize after selling some bricks i baked on my fathers land. I later bought a poshomill for milling maize i get from farming before i sell it as flour.
The land i stay is very viable in business line. High population, good security, easily accessible and market gaps not fully exploited.
I have two children, my first borne daughter in grade one dreams of being a pilot.
My free time is more spent on research about business world and social development. My uniqueness is persistent and hard work.

My Business

I have a double business. I produce maize and I also mill maize I produce.
Maize (ugali) is a staple food to my community and that's why it's on high demand.
I chose it as it is simple to start and easy to manage. Returns are also guaranteed.
Costs include leasing of land, tilling, labour on services required, transportation, electricity bill.
Revenues include selling of maize cereals, maize flour and profit on maize mill.
Profit is ploughed back into the business and some paying for fees and food.

Loan Proposal

After careful analysis of production of my cow, I realized that productivity increases with the administration of the right meals and ensuring the animal is healthy. I have consulted my vet officer and am to change the type of food supplements for better production.

Income Source

Milk is consumed dairy by virtually all families. I will ensure my animal is healthy and well fed to enhance higher productivity. This way, returns are guaranteed daily.

    The last loan was a great deal to my business. I used it to fence 0.2 acre of land that I bought. My animal fodder is now safe

    I received a loan a week ago when I was in dire need of money to buy dairy feeds for my cow. I bought 20kgs of economy dairy meal. I actually had a very smooth week as I had enough food supplements. I really appreciate Lenders who made my week a success.
