older one to complete his high school educatoin next year.I am very
much struggling to educate my children to higher college.I lived in a
place called Molo and this is the place where my father lived in his own
land after we were victimized by election clashes.I decided to move
together with my family at a place called kiptangwanyi that was the
year 1990.I have been living in this area for the first 19 years and
this place is very productive and also very peaceful.I am a mechanic by
profession but since this place consist of few cars to repair i decided
to leave the job first and joined the rest of the farmers to practice
dairy farming in this area.

My Business

I
started the business of repairing some cars at kiptangwanyi trading
center after shifting my family from Molo to kiptangwanyi.as time moves
on i found that the business of repairing vehicles was in low demands
and i decided with my family that we could start practicing dairy
farming i bought a local cow for production of milk in the year 2000.By
then we were selling the milk to the local villagers in litres the cow
was able to produce 3 to 4 litres per day.I the year 2005 i decided to
change the breed and i bought a jersey breed which would produce 10 to
15 liters of milk.I found that it was fair for my dairy and i bought
another one in the year 2007.In the year 2008 a certain company was
introduced in this area and the company was Brookside ltd this company
helped the farmers to keep more productive breeds of cattle.The company
is buying the milk in bulks at a very good price.currently i am having 3
dairy cattles which produce 60 liters of milk dairy. This business has
helped my family in a very big manner and i am getting the school fees
from my dairy and also assist me in earning the living of my family.I am
planning to get a loan from zidisha and buy another one dairy.
