About Me

My name is Cosmas Nzilili. I work for a rescue centre for abandoned children. I hold a degree in finance and I work for Sikizana Trust for community Development in Kenya. Am married and blessed with five children. I grew up from a very poor family and at one spent sometime collecting scrapes on the street. I got a scholarship after performing well in primary and joined starehe boys centre from where I went to Nairobi university.

I started a rescue center to make no child ends up suffering like I did. The farming business is mainly for raising sustainable source of funds and food for the children.

I come from the lower eastern Kenya on the slopes of Chyulu hills. The people are always affected by drought hence they are very resilient and hard working. I have five own children with one already pursuing degree in hospitality. The boy, the four have shown interest ranging from mechanical engineering, medical doctor to electrician.

My Business

I have salary and farm outputs as source of income. In a month it is possible to raise 20000 shillings. Am paid a salary by Sikizana Trust for community Development where I am a founding Director and I combine with selling vegetables from my irrigation farm.

Loan Proposal

I am starting a new section of farming and would require farm inputs in form of fertilizer, seeds and chemicals and partly for tilling the farm. This will help me lead to a sustainable income and food for the family.
