About Me

I was born in Nakuru town, 22 years old last born in a family of five.3 boys and 2 girls.i Cleared my O-level in the year 2011 and scored a C+. Am yet to join university due to lack of funds.I engage in Fish farming with the aim one day i will get funds and be able to join university.My goal is to study Bachelor of innovation and Entrepreneurship and later on help others in society succeed in their businesses. I believe with passion,determination, hard-work and God on my side i will be able to achieve my dream.

My Business

Fish farming in Kenya has never been fully exploited.The demand for fish has continued growing daily with the government of Kenya having to import the rare commodity as far as Tanzania,This has led to the price sky rocketing.With this in mind i have been working round the clock to ensure these changes.I will construct a fish pond and create employment for the local youths and also ensure the community is able to get Fish at affordable prices.I believe on the principal of everything is possible through meaningful involvement and settings smart objectives and follow them one by one. I get involve in positive linkages for a common goal and united for a team spirit. I live in Nairobi but the farm I put up my project is the family home, where my parents live.Lets join hands together and bring fish to the dinning table of each and every individual in Kenya and around the world.Its a great source of protein by the way.Thank you zidisha

Loan Proposal

The demand for fish in Kenya has been so overwhelming,I have been getting customers from as far as Nairobi and Machakos,With only a few lakes and the population growing there has been a shortage ever since,If given the loan i will expand from the current two fish pond i have and construct one more fish pond.This is an initiative that I have started as fish farming in not that fully exploited in Kenya while the market is in demand of fish. Because I want to be the largest fish producer in our area I believe this will be of an impact to the community and also to the young people as this will create more jobs for young people. Am planning with zidisha by the end of the year I will have constructed more fish pond and create job for 50 young men as I have a vision to be creator of job opportunity and help eradicate poverty. This dream will be achieved by zidisha as I believe.
Thank you.
