About Me

I hail from a rural area in the Eastern parts of Kenya. I was born in a family of three, but lost my mother when I was aged 5. I later lost my dad when I was 7 years old. Following my dad`s passing on, I never went to school for two years. Afterwards, I resumed my academics with the aid from my relatives. This enabled me to complete Secondary School, before joining KeMU to study Agriculture. After graduation, I was employed at KENRI-Karen. I worked at KENRI for almost two years, before resolving to start my own business. I`m the only learned member in our family, and my siblings look up to me to sustain them, both in school and at home.

My Business

I worked at KENRI for two years. My income was quite low, and not enough to sustain me, as well as my family. This prompted me to seek a job elsewhere. Unfortunately, I never secured a better job. Luckily, I had some savings, most of which I used to start my own business venture. My uncle gave me two acres of land, on which I planted kales. This gave me enough income to even start planting cabbages and spinach. I also purchased 5 more acres of the by-then neighboring land. I`ve been using this venture to sustain my family, and it`s been doing great.

Loan Proposal

I am planning to use this loan to purchase water sprinklers, which will cost me around $95. This will be of much aid, especially considering that we`re in the dry season. It will help me to sustain my weekly income and even increase my earnings since the supply of water won`t ever decrease, but instead increase. I`ll use my weekly earnings to pay this loan. I am much grateful in advance.
