About Me

My names are Christopher Otsieno Okumu. I live in Busia County at a village called Sikura in Butula District. I come from a family of 8 children and I am the last born in our family. I am a Christian with Blessed Family Church Of Christ. I went to Sikura Primary school and did not finish because of lack of finances. I am now married with seven children. I have been involved in the farming for five years now. I started this farming because it is a good farming of keeping cattle and in the future I would be happy if I have enough milk to sustain my family and take them to school.

My Business

My business is farming. It gives me opportunity to be creative and there is a high demand of the milk that my cow produce , currently my market is not flowing because I don’t have enough stock to make enough money for selling or taking my milk to the milk factory. Many people in the neighborhood like milk for tea or making fermented milk. If I can get loan this can help me to increase my business.

Loan Proposal

Thank you zidisha for lending me the first loan. I will be happy if you borrow me again to enable me to continue with the farming that is helping my family and also is helping my business expand and also will help me to pay back to the society.

    It was good to receive the money from Zidisha that helped me to buy nappier grass for my cows and hire a land to pland more nappiers. After finishing paying this I will be planing to buy motorcycle for transaporting milk to the markets around us.

    Thank you for accepting my loan request. I will buy more napier grass seeds to plant and have enough to feed my cows so that I can have more milk to sell in the market. This will enable me to expand my farming business.

    The money I received from zidisha helped me to expand my farming business. Because of that I was able to pay my loan back. I am requesting another loan so that I can buy machine for cutting grass.
