About Me

I was born in suneka town Kenya.i went through my p[primary and high school level within suneka town.I never got a chance of joining college due to not being able to raise school fees.i am a hard working lady and i try to conquer every obstacle that comes between me and success.after high school and realizing I would not be able to join high school i decided to start farming in the family land.the little money i borrowed from my parents i bought kale and cabbage seeds which i planted and harvested to sell at a profit and that's how i started this business.from the place i come from people make beutiful curving s from soap stone.as per now I have four children that I love so much and carter for.i love reading,traveling and innovation.

My Business

i basically farm vegetables that is kale ,spinach,cabbage,onions and tomatoes.vegetables are consumed as food in my area everyday,basically no meal misses them.this provided high demand for them and i never miss the market to sell them.I chose this kind of business because i knew with this i already have ready customers.i spend about KES 6000($67) in seeds fertilizer and casual labour and transport.i make approximately KES 10000 ($112) a month from sale of this vegetables.I use the profit to carter for the bills of my family and school fees.

Loan Proposal

If my loan is funded i will add it to my savings and hire a piece of land to expand my vegetable farming business.this will increase the profit margin by at least twice.since the family land is small am not able to produce enough to carter for my customers.please fund my loan lenders.thank you.

    Hello Selina, you've been making these very low payments for about a year now. Are you able to increase them a little yet, in order to pay off your loan sooner?
    God bless you,
    Wendy

    Within the last three weeks, my business has generated quite a good income which has enabled me to rent a two hectors piece of land to greatly increase my vegetable production. I know that the next loan will allow me to hire two people from within my community who will assist me to manage the plants.
    Thank you Zidisha!
