About Me
My name is Penina Wambui. I live around Githurai Progressive with my family. I am a married woman with only one child. My husband also lives with us. I completed my high school studies in 2004 but did not go futher with my studies because of fees problem. It is then that I decided to venture into business around my area. I am a farmer and have a piece of land. I also rear goats and cows. So far this business has taken me a notch higher me and my husband are at position to meet some of the need for our family. I work in my farm in the morning and in the evening attend to my goats and cows.
My Business
My business involves keeping goats and cows. I have decided to expand the goat business since it has good returns as I can testify from the experience I have had. I started keeping goats in 2010 after attending a training that had been organized around the community on goats. I have 6 mature goats right now. These goats of which 4 are female produce milk which I supply in Githurai market. Goat milk is scarce and so I have ready market for my milk. Sometime I also sell to local butcheries the goats for meat which I am planning to expand. My biggest plan is to become a dependable supplier of meat and milk in Nairobi town. I am sure it will take time but through hard work I can achieve this.
If I get the first loan I will be able to buy 3 goats of a different breed. With the three I will cross breed with the 4 female that I have and the result will be a high quality goat that will be capable to give me 10litres of milk per day.
This is how I will use the money I get from the project; I plan to a diploma in animal husbandry. By this I will gain skill to take my project to a higher level. Also I be at position to be hired by other farmers who keep goats so that I can advice them as a way to give back to the community. Second I will be able to help my husband support his business. And if all goes well I start my own industry for processing meat and milk. That’s my dream. I request the management of Zidisha to approve my form so that I can get the loan. Thanks
