About Me

My names are Alice Wanjiru Karanja A Kenyan citizen aged 34 years.I have
Married to one husband Haron Mwangi and blessed with two children a boy
aged 12 years old and a girl of 4 years old. I am a residence of Rescourse Langa Langa Estate
in Nakuru County and my home is immediate from the road. I finished
high school at Passenga High School and Later joined NCCK College In Nakuru
where i did Secretarial.
I worked at A company called Creator Machinery as a Secretary from the
year 2006 to 2010 and resigned to start up a Farming project at my farm in
Dondori Nyandarua County where i bought a 2 acre farm just 20 meters from
the main Nakuru Nyahururu highway . I started with three Milk cows after i
constructed a cowshed. Right now my cowshed is spacious enough and unique
to accommodate 13 cows. I have plans for expanding more space after one to
two years. I have engaged myself also in potatoes farming and i usually
harvest about 11 bugs per harvest. I have employed two workers one on dairy
farm and the other one on potatoes farm. I usually visit my farm twice to
thrice a week.

My Business

Happy new year dear lenders.I have successfully planned for dairy farm
which consist 13 cows and potato farm in Dondori Nyandarua County which is
roughly 20 Kilometres from Nakuru Town. My cowshed contains a well designed
small cottages for potential tourists to visit. There is an adequate land
for green fodder cultivation. The cowshed contains separate rooms for milk
room,stores,labor rest room,calf room,my office room, and an area for
strolling cows and my work guard. My cowshed is surrounded by a boundary
wall with a gate. For collecting compost cow dung and urine i and my worker
have done a proper design for it. I decided to set up this project as i
have so much passion in farming project. Cows produce milk to nourish their
offspring and nothing is more vital than milk in calf's development. In
order to consistently produce more milk, i repeatedly impregnate my cows. I
have a total of three calf and one of my cows is expecting a calf in march.
I have a selective breeding and high protein feed to increase milk
production. I roughly harvest 50 liters per day and sell some to my neighbors and the other to Brookside Limited Company.

For now my dear lenders let me and allow me to be paying KES 100 per week so that I may be able to to do other things such as eating and the like.And am sorry for any inconvenience that I may cause there after.

    Dear all lenders:
    I Hope this message finds you all in good health.
    Let us know the situation of Alice Karanja. Yesterday at around 11.00a.m I was able to reach her and I introduced my self to her that am Zidisha Volunteer Mentor and she was very happy for this. Asking her why she was in that mood, she told me that she has been looking all the ways on how to communicate with Zidisha. And I responded that, ‘ you would have left a comment on your profile page’. And I was surprised when she told me that Harbard Tochi I was confused and I asked her why? ‘’ My baby has been sick for a quite some time and I took her to India for further treatment because here in Kenya Doctors were unable to treat her. This Harbard made me to forget everything, otherwise I could have rescheduled my loan since I forgot the passwords I used both for Zidisha and even my e-mail address’’. So Harbard please assist me to recover my Zidisha passwords and the user name since I can’t be in a position to remember my password for my e-mail address.’’.
    Actually even me I sympathized with her. For the mean time I will ask for your kind patience as we are taking necessary to assist this borrower.
    Best regards
    HARBARD TOCHI
