About Me

Am a 51 year old male, Christian, married with 6 children aged between 5-25. I am employed by Mugaa Secondary School and a small scale farmer. I didn’t do very well in my “O” levels due to poor family background, but I have done my best, saving Ksh 100,000 to buy my own piece of land at Kianjoya/Block/1508, 2.5 acres during the year 2003. I brought up my children, the 3rd born is at Mugaa Secondary School 4th year, and the younger at primary school. My salary is only Ksh 5000 per month and therefore the goats helps in milk supply and selling a young when problems arise.

My Business

Through Mwako Self Help Group I received a dairy goat, which I intend to make more profit oriented and add some 2 she goats. I have noted that without supplementing with the right concentrates and mineral salts, their growth is stunted and their milk production minimal. Through our federation we do sell the dairy goats. They have few diseases and eat a wide variety of foods and trees. On average they eat between 5-10 kg a day. They don’t die of hunger, even during the dry season. They give many kids in a given period. They give 2 or more every 5 months and your milk supply is assured all the year around. I look forward to receive good news from you. My last loan of 30,000 Ksh was through Mwako Self Help Group and I finished paying on 15.10.2011.

I have attached a copy of the recommendation letter from the area chief Mr James Kimani Mwangi of phone number 0724857315

Loan Proposal

I intend to increase my dairy goat. currently I have three mature goats and three young Once. my aim is to increase them by adding to more dairy goats.

one mature goat is usually sold at between seven thousand and eight thousand.

With the fund that I would fetch from the loan I will also be able to by the drugs and other supplements for the goats.

    Dear Zidisha community. I am very grateful for all the support you have given me. You have helped me achieve a lot and I look forward to do more development. I owe it all to you people. I have started to utilize my second loan - i have constructed new houses for the goats, bought Dairy Meal, Drugs, and minerals for the goats. I will add some more goats and feed them well. I take this chance to wish all Zidisha members a happy and prosperous new year. Thanks a lot.

    You've raised all your loan ... congratulations. My husband and I look forward to hearing how the goats are producing. What colour are your goats? Are they a special breed for milking?
