About Me
I am 76 years old and i am a grandma. I have lived for a long time and I thank almighty god for my life. I am a widow having lost my husband very many years back. Since my husband's death i have never found a stable job or income generating activity worth mentioning. However, i have been selling grass which is used for roofing most houses. unfortunately, business has been bad. Most people in the neighborhood are now using iron sheets for roofing. most of them got GiveDirect funding which helped them buy iron sheets. My grass business is now down. i have now decided to look somewhere else, move into commercial farming. I want to do horticultural crops like vegetables, onions and tomatoes in addition to grains because I have a large piece of land.
My Business
My initial business, as mentioned above was selling of grass. however, this business did not do well when people got funding for iron sheets. Now I have resorted to commercial farming because the area needs food crops like vegetables , onions and tomatoes. Moreover, maize has become so expensive so i believe i would gain from selling my farm harvests. With help from Zidisha, i believe I can clear more ground for farming so that my income would increase. Thanks.
Loan Proposal
I have suffered for some time since people stopped buying my grass for their roof-tops. I now want to clear the grass and do commercial farming of horticultural products. God willing, i can start making something to help my business grow. Zidisha funding will be helpful in helping me clear the ground and prepare it for seedlings which I can sell as well as plant for future sales. This will help me greatly because I am suffering alone. Thanks.
