About Me

Hello, am Pacifica matoke, am 52 years old I reside in Kisii County. Am a house wife who mostly handles household chores but as part of earning extra income I managed a farm where I have planted bananas that I harvest twice per a month.
am blessed with two sons and the most money I generate from the farm helps to pay for their education.

My Business

My work mostly is with the my compound, as part of Making myself useful I started to plant bananas in the year 2013, at the moment I harvest bananas twice a month then sell them at a wholesale price to guys who take them to the city to sell.
I harvest 20 bananas per a harvest, then I sell at a wholesale price of KES 250 so in a harvest I make KES 5000, in a month I make at least KES 10000 from the bananas.
I use KES 100 to weed the farm and the rest I use it to for my sons' school fees and other expenses at home.

Loan Proposal

I completed planting the beans and to ensure good yield I'll have to do top dressing after weeding the first round.
the loan of 8 dollars will help me 4kgs of fertilizer.
I hope you consider my loan and help me improve my farm.
Thanks in advance.

    Hello lenders, thank you for your continued support in my projects, i was able to get more chicken from the loan, i decided to go for the 2 weeks old, i also spent part of the loan to vaccinate them and buy feeds. I decided to go for younger chicken since it will make it easier for me to schedule vaccination and will ensure i get a longer productivity period from them.
    I have done a good chicken house where i will transfer them to once they are 8 weeks old.

    Hello Pacifica, wish you all the best for your business.

    So is it mainly chickens/eggs now? Have you though about raising any other crops/vegetables besides bananas?

      Thanks Josh, I still have the banana farm, chicken is another project, this to help me expand my resources. There other crops I plant along side bananas but they are small scale, these are like beans, groundnuts and vegetables.

    The help I have received has been really helpful. I was able to plant the beans and I thank God because the rains are here looking forward to a good harvest. Thanks for making this possible.
