About Me

i am 24 years old. I have two brothers and one sister. i am the second born. We all live with our parents near Meru. i also have a two year old son called Harmony. I finished high school and now i am studying bachelor of education at mt kenya university in thika. I am in my second year of university out of four years. Previously i have taught at a secondary school teaching maths and physics but now i am concentrating on my studies. I look forward to being a qualified teacher. I also like to sing and i sing in my church choir. i use the money that i earn from my farm to help pay my school fees and support my son.

My Business

I have a small farm to grow vegetables – spinach, sukuma and courgettes. The area where i live is very good for farming. The soil is very good and there is lots of rain. The farm is near my parents house and we eat some of the vegetables and sell most them at the market in katheri. I would like to expand my vegetable farm and plant more different vegetables. Diseases can be a problem for my farm so i use different sprays to stop this. my costs are low as i do the work myself and i own my tools such as a hoe, spade and panga. i need to buy seeds, fertilizer and sprays.

Loan Proposal

Am focused to buying a water pan and some irrigating pipes for USD 150 , I will have curbed irrigation challenges and as well increase my products to the market . Am focused to increasing my products to the market with a profit target of up to Usd 50

    Dear lenders
    Am back again for my third loan after servicing on time my second loan , after adding my inputs with the second loan i harvested heavily . since my farming is based on irrigation in our country we experienced rainfall shortage and I managed very high yields and with high demand in the market . with my profit I serviced my second loan and have the current crop on the ground . with my third loan am focused to add a water pan to trap more water for use during dry season of which has been a challenge .
