I was born and raised in a kisii , I went to nyakongo primary school were I did my kcpe exams. I later joined Kenyoro high and did my kcse in 1993. Due to financial constrains I was unable to join university for further studies. I joined a polytechnic where I studied tailoring that enabled me meet my daily basic needs.
With the high demand of crops like carrots and onions I decided to venture into it.
The unique thing about our land is it is fertile and well drainage throughout the year giving room for farming.
I am blessed with a family of 4 ,3boys and one girl. My first born tells me that he wants to be an engineer when he grows up.
During my free time I like to watch and listen to music.
My business is about agricultural farming. I grow short term crops like onions carrots tomatoes.these goods are useful because there are ever needed I choose these kind of business because of availability of land and the constant available market.
My tipical costs are ; seeds of various kind say onions and carrots at 1000shs. Fertilizer 800. Pesticides 1500.
On a good hervest I manage to get 12000 in six months time.
The profit I get, I use it to pay school fees for my kids and other basic house requirements.
With these loan I plan to purchase more seeds and pesticides to do another planting since the rain season has commenced. These will help me at a later stage after my first harvest is done...I expect a profit of around 7000 to8500 during the harvest
