Being brought up in an area prone to tribal clashes life was not easy as most of the time we were forced to flee from our homes to a secure place and this forced me to drop out of school at an early age due to lack school fees and join my parents in farm work so as to provide for my siblings.at first the farming business proved to be good and l did lease shamba from my home area so as to maximize the produce,but due to poor market prices and climate changes that affected the business l decided to venture into dairy farming that is doing very well up to now.The income l get from the business enables me to provide for my family and pay school fees for my four kids all who are in school.
Farming business does not only enable me to put food on the table but its also profitable. l farm cabbages and potatoes on a three acreage farm and sell the produce to the nearby markets like kericho and elburgon and the outskirts of molo town on a good season l get ksh 30,000 as profit.From the dairy farming l do sell 25 litres of milk every day and sell to a local society.The demand for the goods is high due to many people in the nearyby town.though the risk of farming is high l normally apply the modern farming techniques to reduce the risk. if advanced the loan l will be able to buy another good grade cow hence more produce of milk.
Hi my lenders am so happy for you giving me this chance of loan application on line,i thank zidisha team very much since they have played important role in my approval,as a farmer i will use my first loan in buying quality feeds to my animals so that they increase their daily produce,and i will be in a position of supplying plenty of milk and my income will be good.my second loan will help me acquire a big land that i will spend in cattle zero grazing.i am so happy with zidisha.
