About Me

I am a 75 year old graduate who has worked peacefully until retirement. Throughout my live, i have loved to farm. Everyone who has live with me has known how to farm including all my grandchildren. I have done both animal farming and crop farming. Animal farming included poultry and cattle while crops included vegetables, tomatoes , maize among others. After retirement, my life has take a southward direction, so I would like to revitalize it buy increasing commercial farming.

My Business

my business at the moment involves crop farming where i deal with vegetables , tomatoes and onions farming. i also sell seedlings to those in need. the market is available for these crops because of shortage of food in the markets due to drought and unreliable rainfall. I'd like to increase my farm and if possible start mechanical irrigation because manual irrigation is slow and tiresome.

Loan Proposal

I'd like to thank you for helping me increase my production. This time round, I'd like to add farm inputs like fertilizers and seeds as well as extend my farm boundaries too. These will cost me 700 dollars, please kindly assist me to increase production and hence income, thanks.

    How are you going Tabitha?

    It might be helpful to ask if the zidisha team can restart your loan repayments from today instead, so you're not trying to play catchup :-) Can also ask if they can lower your payments :-) You can post a msg here: www.zidisha.org/forum-threa...

    Hopefully they'll be able to help organise ways of making it less stressful :-)

    All the best Tabitha :-) Definitely get in touch with the team to try make things more managable for you :-)
    Warm regards, Emma.

    Dear Tabitha,

    During your next loan request, please post a photo of yourself at the top of your profile. (This is a Zidisha requirement).The photo needs to clearly show your entire face, preferably smiling, and preferably taken at the location of the project for which you are requesting a loan.

    The photo currently in that top spot, you can move to a lower spot on your Discussion page, along with a comment about it for your lenders.

    Kind regards,
    Joost
    Team Zidisha

    • Emma    Sep 27, 2018

      No worries at all Tabitha :-) Thank you for the update.

      If there's anything you think that zidisha could do to help make life easier with the repayments, it might be worth popping them a message on the forum: www.zidisha.org/forum-threa...

      I hope life is otherwise making you smile :-)
      Wishing you all the best, Emma from Australia.

    Hi Tabitha,

    We still believe in you :-) You can do it... It doesn't matter if you're a little bit late. Just give everyone an update sometime soon so we know you're not a ghost :-) You'll be ok, you can do it...

    All the best, Emma from Australia.

      thank you for believing in me, my mode of payment hit a snag, i have been having this problem for a while now, i hope to rectify it soon so I resume payment, thank you.

        You are so welcome hun :-) I don't lose faith in people that easily... Life can be difficult sometimes, I can't begin to imagine extra difficulties you might encounter that may not even occur to me... The fact you replied made me smile, but I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you've had with your payment method. It probably is worth popping the zidisha team a message, they may be able to help :-) www.zidisha.org/forum-threa...

        I hope life is treating you nicely, or you can at least see some sunshine in the distance :-) All the best with everything, Emma.
