I am Kevin Maina, a young and ambitious farmer. I have been through several academic ranks upto college level. In my childhood, my mother was a farmer and good she was, but only against the local standards.
I therefore inherited the attraction to farming but with a renewed desire to be the best there can be. After a few years of temporary employment, I quit after realising meagre savings...
Here I am trying to utilize the limited loan facilities available to help me prove to my fellow young friends that joining agriculture wasn't a mistake, but the right step towards youth empowerment.

I am into the dairy farming, a promising venture in the county. My home is near several urban settings that boast of huge number of tenants. Obviously, these people need to feed and milk is that one item you are sure to find in every homestead in Kenya. It is this realisation that informed the county government's idea to subsidize the cost of dairy farming. I therefore took full advantage to Lower operational costs in veterinary care, fetch higher prices for the produce among other related benefits.
To maximize profit, my idea is to create sustainable and weather resistant food supply round the year and in turn keep more animals.
My target is to put up a modern housing structure for my young family and later diversify my business.
I have kept on improving my farming techniques to embrace the newest technology for optimum profits. My vet has recommended that I serve my latest heifer with sexed semen for higher chances of getting a female calf. This will in turn improve the quality of my breed. The cost is estimated at 60 dollars. Luckily, I have some 25 dollars and it's my wish that Zidisha tops up as I await the next heat.
