I have three grandchildren who I take of , I lost my husband early in life and I was left with five children to take of. I had to work very hard to provide for them and take them to school. I grew tobacco and vegetables that gave me some income to help me in life. I currently grow kales and tomatoes. I also help in midwifery during my free time and when need arises.
I sell vegetables that I personally grow on my farm,vegetables are liked by the locals here as they use them in the taking of ugali. Vegetables are taken daily, in every household and home. I chose it because they sell very fast. I use around KES 3000 on a half acre and get around KES 10000.I use the money to increase production, pay fees for my orphaned grandchildren and save the rest.
With the money I will hire a fertile peace of land from a neighboring farmer to plant more vegetables. I expect to hire a 0.5 acre land that will be used to plant 500 tomato plants and another 1000 kale plants. This will cost approximately 15 USD.
I also will buy more farm input eg seeds,fertilizer and insecticides that will cost another 10USD.
With this I will increase the production hence improve the profits and income.
