my childhood has majorly revolved in nakuru. a majority of the things having been centered in this town where i schooled went to primary school and college.I have overcome several challenges to reach where i am now.this has been due to the family support and the course i took in human resources management that taught about motivation and what it can do.i started my business of keeping goats after i completed school and my dad gave me some money to start my self off.i looked into the business that i could do then settled on keeping goats for sale and this has proved profitable hence l have stuck into it.
the land issue in kenya as a whole is a serious one.people attach alot to land it is the single thing that everyone wants to hold because it appreciates in value and can be used as collateral in banks .
when my children grow up l would want them in agriculture.i will take them to agricultural based colleges so that they can get the skills and supplement with what the have learned at home.
in my free time i do the following: swim, listen to music and jog.
my business involves rearing goats and breeding them so that i can sell them later at a higher price.i do cross breeding so that i can acquire hardy breeds that can survive the harsh weather conditions that are in kenya in some months .i also buy some feed them and sell them when they have attained the right weight.
many people in kenya and nakuru feed on goat meat.butcheries near nakuru sell goat meat as such the is available market for them.many of the butchery owners buy from and this makes the demand on goat high.
i make profits in this business and this what keeps me going.on a monthly basis i get $150 to $200 from the sale of goats.this profits helps me to buy more stock and also manage to take my kids to school and pay my bills as town life is expensive
when you you offer me zidisha l will be able to buy feeds which are expensive due to this dry weather condition,and buy medicines to vaccinate them against disease and l believe zidisha will make my dreams come true
thanks zidisha team and lenders as well for a chance of loan when l get the money l will purchase medicines to vaccinate my goats against diseases at a cost of $40,l will also buy feeds which is very expensive this being dry season at a cost of $60,l will be very happy for your support as this will help me progress with my business without difficulties
