About Me

Kennedy Osborn is my name. I am a gentleman of 31years. I come from Sunyani in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana.
My father is Mr James Brifah and my mother is Mrs. Ama Brifah .
I have two sister and one brother. I attended my basic school at St Timothy Preparatory school and later furthered to Senya Senior High.
My parents farm and so they introduced me to farming.
I am married with one son. The food i like best is fufu and light soup. My hobby is playing football.
I am also a fun of music and can sing very well. I am part of the choir in my church and can also play the traditional drums very well.
I like business too.

My Business

My business is farming. I grow cassava, maize, beans,and other vegetables annually and after harvest, I sell to market women who are retailers of these products. My farm is located in Sunyani in the Brong Ahafo region of Ghana, about 3km away from where I live.
I am able to make two harvests in a year and after each harvest, I dry the crops I must dry and later sell to retailers.
Out of 15 acres of the land I cultivate, four and a half acres of the land is for beans whilst another three and a half is for cultivating maize and the other acres is for the cultivation of my vegetables
and cassava.
I am able to obtain about 20 bags of each crop, after each harvest and also enough vegetables for sale. I gain a lot of money. A lot of hard work and Money do I invest in the farm from land preparation to harvesting of the crops as well as sales.
I employ men and women who help me on the farm to clear the land, cultivate and harvest the crops. I also hire tractors to plough the land. When the crops are cultivated, I apply fertilizers to help the crops do well.

Loan Proposal

Dear lenders i need a loan of $200.00 to help buy fertilizer and some pesticides to apply on my crops so that i will be able to get more yield. My lenders ,my crops is in bad condition because of the pests which have started destroying my crops and i have to get this pesticides so that i can kill them.After killing the pest, i will also apply the fertilizer which will enable my crops to yield well. My dear lenders i will be very happy if you grant me this loan and i promise to repay my loan on time.Thank you.

    Dear lenders and zidisha team, thank you greatly for the first loan given to me. My crops were in a very bad state and I was about losing everything when you came in to give me the loan. I bought weedkillers, fertilizers and watering can and other farm tools and after using on my farm I was able to gain back my usual yield. Though there was not a tremendous increase in yield due to delayed rainfalls which is the major source of water for form lands in my community, I did not run much loss because at least I made my usual harvest and after sales I made 13% more profit of the former profit.
    Thanks a lot my dear lenders and zidisha team.
