    Thanks my lenders for helping me improve my business, I was able to add more stock of my potatoes which I make into French fries,this has enabled me increase my earnings and improve on my business.
    My business is in Nanyuki which straddles the equator, the town has good views of Mt.Kenya and the plains on the leeward side of the mountain,these plus the large tracts of land where wild animals live are a major attraction to tourists,there are many hotels and holiday homes that match international standards, you are welcome to pay Kenya a visit.
