About Me

I am Martin Hesborn Otieno born and raised in Kakamega county in western kenya.Both my parents passed through H.I.V AIDs when i was young and i was left with my grandmother.Because my grandparent was very poor i was not able to get enough education,so after form four i started to look for casual jobs to support both my grandmother and myself.After long period of casual jobs i decided to start farming business because i realized it's profitable and much paying as compared to other casual jobs.

My Business

I have i one acre farm which i have inherited as my late mother portion where i practice small but smart farming.I have two cross breed dairy cows which give me milk to sell,i rear local and grade chicken for meat and eggs selling and i plant irice potatoes,tomatoes and vegetable for sale.These products are all in high demand because they are essential commodity and the population is high too.I choose this kind of business because i wanted to support myself and those who raised me up.

Loan Proposal

I take this chance to give you so many thanks for giving me this golden opportunity,being even before getting a loan makes me feel great because i have never been given this kind of chance in my life.Now i kindly request lender help me buy a small foot manual water pump costing $50 which will help me to irrigate my almost ripening tomatoes during this dry season and 50kgs C.A.N fertilizer at $20 for irice potatoes top dressing as this potatoes is the one i will be harvesting late next month.Thank you in advance.

    As Martin was my first Zidisha borrower I was so moved by Martins situation that I provided the full lending amount.203.00 USD. He made one payments of almost 10.00 but I'm afraid after that all payment and communication stopped. (that was May 2015). This has not discouraged me from since supporting Zidisha. I have done some research on comparable micro lenders.The whole idea of micro-lending and the way Zidisha conducts business is absolutely brilliant.

    Hi Martin, i'm afraid i did not check your posting of May 19th. The last payment i received form you was on May 27 for 8.87.if you require another grace period for the month of July 2015, take it and do not worry.
