About Me

Born and raised in Christian family, I am the second born in a family of four. I have just completed a four-year degree in Bachelor of Information Technology at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.

Securing a job in our country has become very challenging due to lack of job opportunities, which has led many youths to being unemployed. I have managed to save some cash from a few services that I offer from skills I gained during my studies such as computer repair and software installations. I realized the great potential in poultry farming. I managed to rear a few chickens, which I managed to sell during the December festive period, and reaped quite well.

My Business

I have started poultry farming and thanks to Zidisha lenders I was able to earn $233 per month compared to the previous $120 monthly. The loan had such a great impact that I was able to increase the number of crates of eggs that I sell per week because I bought some extra chickens with the loan.

I now hope to increase the number of chickens in-order to meet my target of $2,330 in two years time. The increase in earnings will help me to open and run an Information Technology Institute, which was my dream idea when I enrolled for a Bachelors degree in Information Technology at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. The poultry project is such a success and in partnership with Zidisha lenders this project will not only be a succes but a dream come true.

Loan Proposal

When I get this loan,it will help me improve on my piggery project in the following ways;,buying of feeds estimated at 40 dollars, buy 25 chicken at 2.3 dollars each at an estimate total of 57.5 dollars, extension and modernization of existing hatchery to house the new chicken at 100 dollars. vaccination drugs for the chicken at an estimated 25 dollars, all this will total to 249.8 dollars with the loan from zidisha of 195.221 i will have a deficit of 54.579 dollars which i will fund from my savings and funds from other well wishers and if not enough i can borrow more from my local bank. with this improvement i will be able to increase my monthly to almost double since poultry farming is a venture where supply never meets demand and thus there is always a market and a place for improvement. Thanks zidisha lenders for your continued support.
