Loan Proposal

Hallo,hola,salut dear lenders,I ask of you to help fund my project of developing a FARM MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE. the whole project will cost $1000 USD which i have raised $700 usd from your previous help but the funds were not enough as i noted,i still need $300 usd
I come from an agricultural rich town of eldoret and the neighboring town is kapsabet .where large acres of land is used for maize,beans ,barley,wheat and tea.This software is going to run on android devices and web based(for farmers who cant access the mobile phone but can access a cyber cafe). The languages used to develop the android app is java, and the web part css,javascript and php might be used.

The benefits of this software are
1-easy access to farm inputs as its going to connect the input seller and the farmer via the software
2-connect the farmer to the highest bidder of the farm products to the farmer via the software
3-connect to meteorological department to give the farmer weather updates
4-have an inbuilt ledger to help the farmer with the financial transactions
5-help the farmer sell his products online
6-update the farmer when there is a government offer of cheap fertiliser
to wrap it all its going to be user friendly
7-help the farmer manage the employess accordingly and their salaries

The software is going to cost only $3 per farmer.in a single district there is like minimum of 2000 farmers. that makes it $6000 usd per district.in my county alone we have 6 districts making is $36000 usd on a minimum. thats alot of profit
i will use the funds to pay my zidisha loan and some to pay the programmers who helped me with the software development.
i am certain i will repay the loan back promptly as i have a steady income from online writing that gives me little funds that willl help pay back $62 weekly. I hope you find it in your heart to fund this loan.thank you. Je vous remercie,gracias,danke.
