About Me

I have a unique business model of facilitating poultry equipment acquisition for small-scale farmers who cannot afford upfront equipment purchases from the suppliers or manufacturers. Some of the equipment have to be imported into the country and this is beyond the reach of many farmers. My model helps farmers access these equipment rentals at affordable monthly rental fees and under very favorable terms of services.

My Business

Inspired by the same challenges, I have set up a Kienyeji Incubator rental business so that I can avail good quality incubators to small scale farmers that they can use to hatch eggs and rapidly scale up their businesses in a matter of 2-3 months for a low monthly fee. I already have a big potential market for these based on the inquiries I receive on a daily basis from farmers through my websites.

Loan Proposal

The loan will be used in purchasing and reselling farming equipment via our websites and Facebook page. These will be sold through the following portals:

    Previous funding came in handy in paying my monthly webhosting cost which has since been raised to $21.99 per month.

    Did my first fundraising a few years back. Although the amount was small, it came at an opportune moment when I really needed it & I channeled it into poultry feeds.
