About Me

I am 28years old. I grew up in Narok county. I went to primary school at St. Peter's Academy and excelled very well. For my secondary school, I managed to go to a National school, Loreto High School, Limuru. After that I proceeded to do my CPA's which is still in progress and I hope to finish very soon. I am now an experienced accountant with 3 clients and I hope to have my own audit firm in the future. I am also pursuing a degree in agribusiness and I am currently in fourth year hoping to graduate in December 2021. I plan to venture into farming as a way of diversifying. Covid-19 era has taught me the importance of diversification since it almost rendered me jobless. Agribusiness is the better and surest way of carrying out agricultural activities.

My Business

I am an accountant with a small accounting firm with the intention og growing to my own audit firm. Accounting is my passion and I am happy doing it. Once I clear my CPA's I plan do do professional auditing. Currently, I am at CPA 4 hoping to clear next year. Using funds from my Zidisha loan, I will be able to increase my clientelle by hiring a marketer.
I also hope to venture into potato farming since the soils in Narok County are good for farming. I plan to use skills acquired in agribusiness to farm eficiently and also educate farmers on better ways of farming.

Project Proposal

I would like to grow a diversity of vegetables like brocolli, cauliflower, beetroot, red cabbage, lettuce and kale. I am currently farming spinach and avocadoes and I would love to expand my farming

    I am unable to pay the previous installment amount since I am expanding my business. The investment I made with the loan has brought me more clients and now that I am expanding my business I am aware that this will require expenditure thus I shall not be able to repay as per my previous installment. Kindly note that this installment amount will increase once my business is stable after expansion. Thank you.

    Dear lenders,
    Thank you for funding my loan. My business has grown. I have been able to purchase a second hand laptop which my marketer is using to attain more clients for my business. I have therefore noticed profits in my business even after expenses and payment of salaries ad statutory deductions. I hope to continue in the same spirit untill my dream is finally achieved.
