About Me

I have three grandchildren who I take of , I lost my husband early in life and I was left with five children to take of. I had to work very hard to provide for them and take them to school. I grew tobacco and vegetables that gave me some income to help me in life. I currently grow kales and tomatoes. I also help in midwifery during my free time and when need arises.

My Business

I sell vegetables that I personally grow on my farm,vegetables are liked by the locals here as they use them in the taking of ugali. Vegetables are taken daily, in every household and home. I chose it because they sell very fast. I use around KES 3000 on a half acre and get around KES 10000.I use the money to increase production, pay fees for my orphaned grandchildren and save the rest.

Loan Proposal

I will buy effective insecticides that sell at five dollars and also buy foliar feed of two dollars, these will increase the output and add to my sales

    Contacted Wegesa and talked about criteria of scheduling repayment installments to match what she can be in a position to pay.

    My crop was destroyed by hailstones and therefore has affected its quality and purchasibility. I have put in new measures to improve it and is coming up well but I expect to finish repayment in time. Thanks to my kind lenders for the great assistance.
