About Me

Hello am Charles Kerina from Kenya, Kilifi County. As a child i grew up in an extended family with around 12 of my cousins. We could work at the farm after school so as to get bread on the table. This inspired me to start farming for vegetables to help fed the less privileged in our community.

My Business

I farm vegetables such as tomatoes, spinach, kales, onions and cabbages. With an investment of $ 1000.00 I can make a 40% profit after tax deductions and paying all workers (included agriculture experts). I use 40% of the proceeds to help the needy students from a local school called Majaoni Prinary School. The remaining 60% is ploughed back to the business.

Loan Proposal

If i get this Loan I will purchase the following.
1.Labour at $50.
2. DAP Fertilizer for $ 100.
3. CAN Fertilizer for $ 120.
4. Fungicides at $50.
5. Kale's Pesticide at $15.
6. Tomatoes Pesticide at $ 20.
7. Tomatoes Foliorfede at $35.
8. Kales eeds at $ 20.
9. Tomatoes seeds for $35.
10. Transport is $50.
TOTAL $495.
I hope to feed more people And employ more workers to take care of my Farm.

    My Business is currently recording losses due to unforeseen circumstances. So that’s why I won’t be able to raise up the repayment amount.
