About Me

Am Joseph , a photographer and film maker, owner of a small phone and electrical accessories shop, I also love farming, currently doing vegetables.

My Business

I am in several businesses, I own and operate a phone and electrical accesories shop. Being a trained photographer and film maker, I also offer the services to those in need.
I love farming and my current project right now is vegetables where am doing kales and spinach on a 1/4 acre plot that my dad gave me. The first batch of crops is now ready and am harvesting. I now make around 21USD each week from sales. Am planning to plant more kales and spinach because I've discovered there is alot of demand which I cant meet currently. Thank you.

Loan Proposal

In December last year I started a kales farming project which is currently doing well.
Am making around 21USD each week from sales. I intend to plant more kales and spinach because I've discovered there is alot of demand which I can't meet currently. The area under cultivation is 1/4 of an acre and I intend to increase it to 1/2 an acre soon. Thank you. Am also planning to change from furrow irrigation to drip irrigation which is more economical and produces much better crop yield. Thank you for your support.

    Good progress so far. I managed to buy the kales and spinach seedings, a total of around 1,500. I will add more after fencing an additional area to plant.

    Thank you all for funding my project. Am planning to purchase a chain-link fencing for my vegetable garden since wild rabbits have been attacking and destroying whatever I plant from beans to kales and spinach. Thank you for making it possible.

    Thanks to my lenders for the previous loan. I managed to buy some kales and spinach seeds. Germination was good and the nursery is now ready for transplanting. I have also prepared the seed bed where the vegetables will be planted, please see attached photos. Thank you.

    Thanks for the funds, I received the money yesterday and was able to buy Kales and spinach seeds which I sowed in a nursery. Total cost was 17usd. The amount I received was 12.4usd.
    Germination is usually within 7 days, will update how it goes.
