About Me

My names are Leah Mweru, a resident of Kiptangwanyi shopping center. I was born in central province of Kenya, Nyandarua District. This is where I attended my primary school and later joined a local secondary school at the area. After my secondary school, I did a secretarial course for six months and got a job to work at a public primary school in Nakuru. I later moved with my family of three children and husband Kiptangwanyi in the year 1999. I live in plot number 1104. My business in Kiptangwanyi is that of selling foodstuffs from my farm to businessmen and women from the center. I have grown all sorts of foodstuffs in my farm.

My Business

My business entails selling of foodstuffs from my farm to businessmen and women around this region. I grow short season crop all year round through irrigation and thereafter supply to other businesses. I have a large dam where I get water to irrigate the crops. The main foodstuffs that I grow are vegetables, beans, peas, soya beans. These is a profitable business as I supply these foodstuffs all year round. I have many customers from many areas who come to collect these products from my farm. Most of them are from around while I also have few who come from other places.

Loan Proposal

I wish to use this loan that I will be given by Zidisha to improve my business by, Firstly, I will increase the acreage of my foodstuffs that I grow. This means I will be able to produce more for my customers. Secondly, I would like to be gowing the best quality and this means more labour will be required in my farm.
