My Business
Hallo everyone in Zidisha Micro finance and the lenders at large.My name is Patrick Wambugu Nderitu.I practice farming as my business.In my land is where i practice this agribusiness activities and i have been doing this for the last 7 years now.Initial i had leased a plot to do farming and since i had been getting quite good profit,is what made me to look for a land and i bought mine.Now i do farming in my own shamba/farm and at the same i reside at the same farm/shamba,where i had built a semi-permanent house of three room for my family.
For like three years now i changed completely and concentrated with red onions and Wairimu beans which are fast moving and in high demand in surrounding towns and to my area customers and this has even made me to for a mile and leased one more acre of land so that i can satisfy my customers ever growing demand.For this case,i have been finding myself in financial constrains,which sometimes made not to meet my customers needs.This made me to look an alternative sources of some capital and that is how i came to know the Zidisha Micro finance.I am kindly requesting the Zidisha Microfinance to fund me so that i can buy more seedling for the onions,D.A.P fertilizer and beans from MEA limited which they are a bit expensive for me,but through your kind assistance i will make to buy them and plant this planting season of the year,as we are now in rainy season.It is my wish that after i buy the seedlings and the fertilizer,i am confident that i will have all it takes to feed the nation.This is my humble plea to the entire Zidisha fraternity to fund my loan so that i can satisfy the ever growing demand from my customers.Thanks and be blessed.
