About Me

My name is John and I come from Kenya. I am the first born in a family of eight six boys and two girls. I did my Advanced level whereby I qualified to join the University. Later studied Philosophy and Theology which i passed with good honours and then got a job with the Child Welfare Society of Kenya. In this position i supported many orphans and vulnerable children thrive well with good care and protection. I am married and with six children all going to school and colleges. I love my family.
My hobbies are aerobics, jogging and hiking big mountains. I have done several hikes to almost all the big mountains in Kenya.

My Business

I have been jobless for some few years and therefore engaged myself in running a small shop for groceries, cereals and other general goods. It is able to provide food for the family but for educational needs I have to supplement with renting plots where I plant assorted plants such tomatoes, potatoes, peas and onions to sale to the market once they mature.
This way I am able to make some profit that I use to pay fees for my children's education. Any help or support to help realize this dream of educating all my children is well appreciated. Thank you.

Loan Proposal

I have been given a green house that has not been used by the owner for the last two years as she has been away. She has asked me if I would be interested to take the green house and the rest of the one acre farm. I will only pay her a lease agreement for the land going for two years.
I want to invest in preparing the green house and then plant tomatoes in the green house. The long heavy rains are in the corner and during this time the price of tomatoes goes up and they become a very scarce commodity. If I could get funding to buy the seeds, prepare the greenhouse, fix the drip water piping system into the green house I will be good to get going. The green house is in very good condition and situated nearby a busy road where I could add some extra green vegetables in the farm and sale them by the road as the road is very busy with pedestrians, cars and other people.
I expect to make at the minimum 80% profit margin if I do a good job at the green house and extra care with the tomato plants.
Thank you.
