I later got married and joined my husband in farming we own a 6 acre piece of land were 2 acres is for crop farming and the rest for lease.
I love Eldoret and the culture of my husband i have learned kipsigis language though it was not easy but i can now speak both my language and husbands language in fluent.
My Business
I practice small scale farming for a living, i plant kale's, maize and cabbages for sell this season i have had issues with money and have not utilize my farm well.
I found a passion for farming after my neighbor bought a new lorry from sell of tomatoes this encouraged me so much. I opt to save enough capital and one day plant tomatoes as my neighbor is willing to show me the market place and customers.
On good plantation and harvest i make an average of 200 to 250 us dollars a month.
I put back my profits to the farm to cater for next plantation and support of family basic needs.
Loan Proposal
Once my loan is at hand in amount 50 us dollars after member fee deductions, I will buy fertilizers at 28 us dollars and a wheelbarrow at 22 us dollars.
I will be able to top dress my maize and God willing have a good harvest this season.
I hope to make profits better than last season by 10 percent increase.
Than you.
