About Me

My name is Richard Odhiambo, I am the first born in a family of 6 children. I am a Moi University graduate with 2nd honors upper division in aquatic science.
I graduated inthe year 2010,but despite my good grades and academic qualifictions ,no job was forthcoming. I tried my best searching for a job ,but non come my way. Since I had no capital to start any business, i was forced to stay idle and do manual work to earn my daily bread. I wrote a proposal to county government and I was given grand to construct three fish ponds. The business picked off ,well and today it earns me a living.
I have not started my family since I am still educating my siblings ,however I am looking forward to start a family soon.
I am a soccer fun and so during my free time I always watch soccer,I am also a good trainer and when free I train youths on fish farming.

My Business

my business is fishing farming, I keep Tilapia in my fish ponds.
The demand for fish is very high as most people today shifting towards white meat,fish is a vital source of protein and the community that I stay in are fish eaters .This explains why the demand for fish is always high throughout the year.
I use $50 in a month ,my revenues average is $300 in a month. I make profits of $250 in a month.
I use my profits for fees,business expansion and taking care of my parents.

Loan Proposal

I hope you are fine and in good health,welcome to my profile.
My name is Richard Odhiambo, I am requesting for loan to buy Iron sheets for construction of poultry house over my fish pond. The poultry drops would provide nutrients for plankton and therefor faster fish growth and more income. I would really appreciate your support. I would use all the $100 for purchase of 10 iron sheets.
