About Me
How much can I borrow?
First-time members start with a small test loan to build creditworthiness. After that, the amounts you can borrow will increase with each loan that you repay on time, up to a maximum of 1,014,790 KES per loan.An idealistic twenty-four-year-old, I'd been hired out of graduate school to manage overseas grants on behalf of the US government. This was my second year on the job and I already had a reputation as a maverick. To the discomfort of my colleagues, I refused to stay at the expensive hotel normally reserved for US government visitors and settled instead on a cheap hostel. The hotel cost more per day than many Nigeriens earned in a year, and I couldn't stand the disparity.
My Business
Chiropractors diagnose and treat patients whose health problems are associated with the body's muscular, nervous, and skeletal systems, especially the spine. Chiropractors believe interference with these systems impairs normal functions and lowers resistance to disease. They also hold that the spinal or vertebral dysfunction alters many important body functions by affecting the nervous system and the skeletal imbalance through joint or articular dysfunction.
This chiropractor's approach to health care is holistic, emphasizing the patient's overall health and wellness. Betcher Chiropractic recognizes that there are many factors that can affect one's wellness including but not limited to: exercise, diet, rest, environment, and hereditary. Betcher Chiropractic provides natural, drugless, nonsurgical health treatments, relying on the bodies inherent recuperative functions.
Loan Proposal
With this Zidisha Loan, I am applying so as to buy 4 new improved variety (kari) poultry. This is is a better quality as they lay daily for a period of about 2years, better still they are 2 times bigger than the ordinary breed therefore meaning that they fetch good price when disposing them for meat. I have done a market survey and I have identified a source where they are selling at USD10 per head. I am intending to buy feeds with remaining USD20. Through rearing this variety, I will enlarge my poultry flock and have consistent layers income as every month I will have at least 3 trays of eggs tabulating to USD15 which is good for a start. I have in my farm vegetables which will be substituted as poultry feeds. With better quality chicken, I will be assured of better yields and therefore increased income. Also when I confine my birds in future, I will be using their droppings usefully as either manure or mixing with cow feeds for even better milk production.
