About Me

I am the first born child in a family of four children. I was born in Kisii-Central which is my home district. My parents were peasant farmers.I thus went for my primary education in Bobaracho D.O.K primary. When i reached class seven, my father was involved in a road accident and passed away, this difficult time forced me to repeat class seven. After sitting for my primary school examination i joine Uriri Boys High School. Due to difficulties in raising my high school fee my mother called for frequent fundraising to cater for school fee. After high school i started working in construction sites which helped me to save as much as i could which helped me to start supplying horticulture products like kales,cabbages,cucumbers,onions,tomatoes and bananas in local markets. I then joined university where am pursuing BSC. Mathematics and Computer science in my third year while i travel twice a week back in my county to supply the products to my customers.

My Business

When i was still working in construction sites i started supplying horticultural products during my free time to local markets from farmers to customers in Kisii county being an agricultural county. I was able to save enough which enabled to start hiring a Probox Tax for the transportation of my products therefore reducing transportation costs.
The recent El nino rain has wrecked havoc on parts of the county (Kisii) and with it the destruction of farm products which happens to be my area of supply. This has opened the door for supply of kales and cabbages . I therefore intend to use the loaned amount in supplying this products from farmers, a venture that am sure will pay due to high demand of this products.

Loan Proposal

I will buy two and half crates of tomatoes at 49 dollars for the two crates.
I will buy two sacks of kales at 19 dollars for the three sacks.
I will buy two sacks of cabbages at 10 dollars for the two sacks.
I will buy one and half sacks of onions at 7 dollars for the three sacks.
The increment of this products in my supply will increase my profits and also the supply to my potential customers which will also to plenty for consumers.
My business profits will increase by 30 percent which is a reasonable profit for any business man.
