About Me

am a graduate and completed my degree course in bachelor of agriculture in the year 2009 and after long search for a white collar job without success l opted to start an agro-vet business in my home area.this is because the area is agriculture based and most of the residents are farmers. l do re invest most of the earnings to the business and do support my siblings in paying for their school fees.the business has grown very fast and am hoping to open a branch in molo market since its also agriculture based.

My Business

The business is very viable and mostly because of the high demand of the products.Njoro is agricultural based area and the residents do farm fresh produce,wheat, maize and beans and do livestock keeping hence the reason for the demand.l normally make ks 45,000 as net profit this is due to high turnover of the sales and to the fact that my prices for the products are very competitive.although there is a lot of competition l have loyal customers whom l not only do business with them but take time to advice them on the farming and products since l have the knowledge on agricultural. l also participate on field day organized by the ministry of the agriculture to educate the farmers on modern farming methods and this is how l give back to the community.if advanced with the loan l will be able to add more stock hence meeting the demands of the customers and empowering more farmers with the agricultural knowledge.

Loan Proposal

Dear my lenders,im so happy that i am in touch with zidisha,the first loan that i am going to get will help me buy a motorcycle that will help me get interior of the village and get maize and beans. i will also work very hard and repay the my first loan and when i apply second loan i will start a cattle keeping business because it will provide me with milk and also i will be the supplier of the milk to my villagers.i hope i will proceed well with zidisha team.

    hello lenders,
    i would like to say that i am thankful for the financial assistance given to me. The projects i have done have been helpful to me and they have enabled me to live a more decent life. With zidisha i have seen a great improvement and stress free financial provider. i have a concern that i would like to share with you lenders, there have been a great increase in the interest and this is in a way hindering us from applying for other loans. I kindly request if i may know why the abrupt increase in interest and the decrease in the amount of loan requested
    This will enable me to plan for the next loan without worries that there might be an increase in interest and the right amount of money to be given out.
    Thank you.

Though it wasn't enough i will pay the remaining amount on a later date but the institution will allow me to continue learning . May God bless you abundantly for the good job you are doing.

    Thank you my lenders for the good work you are doing to improve my life. It is really awesome and i hope to continue well with this team. Due to good timing i was able to plant potatoes in a one and a half acre piece of land and i hope it will give good yield. I tried to change from daily farming for i saw that we are getting into the dry season and it will be hard for me to be buying milk from my place. The competition is stiff and most of the people doing the same business are using motorbikes and it was quit a challenge competing with them. I hope i will grow well with the zidisha team, thank you and God bless you
