About Me

I am 39 years of age and a father of 4 kids, all are daughters and the eldest daugther is in class eight and the youngest one is in class two all in our nearest academy.I was born in a humble family in a village called Kaborok before i rellocate to a place i am know reciding. I live in Nakuru county in a village called Tendwet village along mau forest complex. I am a peasant farmer and a business man too and i started farming 20 years ago when i completed my 0 level certificate and i didnt proceed with futher studies due to financial constraints. It is my hope my childrens will come and get a quality education which i didnt get because of school fees challenges. I want to expand farming by having more cattles which i am rearing. Currently i have 4 cows and one bull. This cows enables me to get cash every day from the milk i get from them. I am determining to have more bulls too so that i will use to digg a piece of land and plant various cash generating crops.

My Business

This farming business i started small 20 years ago from a cow i get from late my loving grandmother who gave me as a present. Due to time and various deseases most of the cows died and others have sold to meet various family needs but thank God i still have 4 healthy dairy cows and 1bull and from then i have learned how to take care of this cattle by being attentive and responding to their medication more promptly. I make a profit of ksh30000 per month from this dairy cows. I milk my cows twice a day and i can manage to take care of their meals and attending to their medication. The challege comes during drought season but i have managed to dig a dip bore hole which cant easily dry out during this season. Also when there is a desease outbreak it posea great challenge. I am planning to save to ksh 100000 to be able to buy 1acre piece of land and buddock it to accomodate more dairy cows. Apart from that i want to buy one more bull to help in digging a piece of shamba to plant nappier grass and other cash generating crops

Loan Proposal

I will use the loan to buy more dairy cows and also make sure i cater for their basic needs. I will baddock the boma and make sure food are ready for my cows. If you will support me i will advance and in future carry zero grazing farming to my dairy cows. This i asure you this business is profitable and 100% potential. I promise to repay this loan on time and in full
