About Me
Am Amos kingi Nyabuto. Am 23 years old I live in Kisii County a place called Ogembo omoringamu. Due to financial constraints I was able to complete my education so I dropped out of school when I was in form two to help out with the family farm.
In 2012 I lost my dad who was battling cancer fir some time, my mother followed in 2014 and things got really tough for me and my 3 siblings who are still in school.
since am the oldest it's my job to ensure the go to school. I have planted several crops that help with school fees and upkeep for my siblings.
My Business
I manage our family farm where I have planted several crops like bananas, beans maize and pineapple. I. Sell these in the local market to be able to earn so that I can support my siblings.
From the bananas I harvest twice per month where I earn KES 5000 per harvest making it KES 10000 every month. For the pineapples I harvest weekly for a period of 6 months in a year, from every harvest I earn KES 20000 making it KES 8000.every month for the beans and maize I have twice per year we use some of the these for home consumption then sell the rest. Am able to make KES 20000 from the sakes of the maize and beans per a season.
at times I face challenges due to luck of capital to buy fertilizer for top dressing to improve the harvest.I hope this i with this platform will help me improve my farm fir better produce.
Loan Proposal
i would like to apply for a loan of KES 3600, this loan is going to help me improve my farm, i will spend KES 1200 to get supporting poles for my bananas, then use KES 1800 to get CAN fertilizer for top dressing then i will use KES 500 to buy pesticide to spray on my beans, thanks in advance for your support.
