About Me
I am Eluas Itenyi Misango born and raised in the western part of Kenya, Kakamega County. I was born in a family of ten children, six girls and four boys, two have already dead. I spent my childhood in western Kenya and that is where I did my schooling. I am married and have five children, two boys and three girls. The first born is in College, the other two girls and one boy are in high school. The last born is still in primary School.
My childhood had a lot of challenges from home to schooling. We used to work hard after school and during holidays in order to help our parents in the farm. At times it was hard to be in school all the time because at times we never had school fees.
I came to Nakuru county in the year 1990, since then I have lived here. I am currently employed at a Bible school. We live in a cosmopolitan therefore have diverse in culture and the way people do things
My Business
Having some experience in the dairy farming and from the proceeds that are coming from my one cow, i see it is wise to add another one. The cow that I have has been doing very well and I want to grow bit by bit. Having gotten money from Zidisha and managed to buy bulky feeds it has enabled me to be able to lower my cost of production from Kshs. 300/- per day to Kshs. 250/- per day.
I have made a savings of Kshs. 20,000/- from the milk sales and from my employment in order to buy another cow which will cost Kshs. 40,000/-. Therefore I am looking forward to obtaining a loan of Kshs. 20,000/-.
I know with good management and better practices, I will improve the production hence my daily income.
Loan Proposal
My farm is currently doing very well but the only problem has been on how to prolong the life of my milk before it is used. At times I milk in the evening and the customers come in the morning. The challenges I have been having can be solved by having a freezer. This will also help me when I have surplus I can make Yogurt and store them in there. The price is USD 300
