About Me

I am a Kenyan citizen with the age of majority brought up in a family of four. I have one sister and one brother, raised up by my mum alone because she is single. She has been the breadwinner of the family, but I thank God for the strength and the support she has given toward our upbringing, which has been fundamental and Godly one.
I began my schooling in a local primary school back in the year 1991,as well as my high school in Kisanana Secondary school which I completed in 2004.Later in 2007, I was privileged to join Kampala International University for my degree in law. I graduated last year, 2013, and enrolled myself in the field of looking for job.
After the completion of my degree was able to join Old Mutual Company since 2013, August until today am still working with them.

My Business

The business I carry on is farming, which I have done it for the period of one year. I plant green peppers and vegetables, which give me returns every week. The land is located in Solai in the North East side of Nakuru, its size is 1 hectares. I usually bring the produce to Nakuru market on every Saturday, which on average it gives me a return of 10000 Kenyan shillings consistently for a period of six months.
On this rainy season, I have a plan of farming 2 hectares although capital is a challenge. If I can get a loan with Zidisha it would be of great help, because it would help me in making my dreams come true on farming.
Am looking forward for your help.
