My Business

As my Aunt is a farmer cum business Woman,together with my cousin my,Fredrick Warui who is a recent zidisha beneficiary),i have had an opportunity to participate and benefit from the many projects that have have been done.AS my Aunt is a farmer cum businesswoman,she has always encouraged us to venture into her various agricultural projects.Together with my my cousin we have initiated projects on Agriculture eg Indigenous farming,growing of vegetables cum poultry,dairy farming.Since 2012 march i have been working as a teacher and have also planted potatoes and a half acre of maize.The thirty chickens are giving me 20 trays of eggs daily.I sell at each kshs20.They feed 4kgs of feeds daily amounting to ksh130 and after adding cost of the medicine plus other expenses am left with ksh250 per day.AM also expecting to get ksh25,000 from the 1/4 an acre on October from the maize harvest.From the attention of zidisha that has come to my knowledge am looking forward to make use of it to enhance my growth as a farmer.I am going to use the loan to buy more hens and also buy feeds since the amount of feeds will increase with an increase of the poultry or the hens.I live at the outskirts of Nakuru town.My Aunt has 1/4 an acre where i live.
