About Me

My name is Grace Wanjiru Gichanga. Some years back when l was still in school my dad passed on. we' ve been brought up in hardships though we never lucked the basic needs. So in my childhood l learned early how to be independent. l worked hard in school and l was able to gain basic knowledge and that has really contributed to my life positively. Am now married with two kids. A Boy 14yrs and a girl 10yrs.

My Business

Am currently employed and l have a monthly salary. But besides employment, l do small scale farming. l thought of farming after realizing l don't get very fresh vegetables whenever am interested in buying. And so l started farming a variety of vegetables for my own use, and later expanded to farming for business. The profit l get. l use to assist my mum back at home and also help in doing shopping for my home.

Loan Proposal

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all my Lenders for their kindness. With my second loan, l was able to expand my farming land and for sure l was able to do a lot on it and am enjoying it. Hoping to get Lenders for my third loan application, l have surveyed and came up with a plan to fence around the farm for security from animals, and also venture into
different types of vegetables as demand is very high. The profit l collect from vegetable sales has helped me in paying school fees for my kids on time. Am also able to meet needs and wants around the house whenever money is required.
Am happy to report that my elder son is joining high school next year. I believe the profit l will get from farming will come in handy at this time. Thank you soo much.

    I sincerely thank all my Lenders for having faith in me. With my last loan, I was able to enlarge my farm, I was also able to increase different varieties of vegetables on the farm. The profit I acquired helped me pay school fees for my kids, especially my son who is going to high school next year. Thanks.
