About Me

Am a young vibrant focused and dedicated youth born in Nakuru went to high school at St Joseph secondary school passed my exam and went to Kenyatta University where I recently graduate with a bachelor degree in Economic and statistic.
My family is build on strong Christian foundation where I was privilege to serve as an altar boy since I was young. I found myself also going to a Christian high school where I learned a lot in terms of discipline, independence and focus. While in university I tried various business ventures like doing photocopying for the students which was really doing great that I was also even able to contribute on my tuition fee.
Funny is that I started my photocopying business unintentionally as it was taking me a lot of time going to the student centre to do photocopy and I thought why not have my own photocopier in my room, in a few month I bought one with my savings and I placed in my room. There is when my friends started paying to do photocopying for them.
Was able to save good sum and was able to buy a ¼ of an acre in my Nakuru where now am doing farming. Am so proud of my achievement so far and am not looking back as am still yet to achieve more.

My Business

In my farm I have a small green house where I have planted tomatoes it is a good venture as so far everything is working great as before I was planting in open where they were not well due to cold and also pest. I choose to do green house farming because after 3 month am able to start harvesting for another 3 to 6 months and because tomatoes are always in demand as they are used in every meal there has never been low demand or no sell. I have employed one youth and looking forward to employee more as I continue to grow. I have always dreamed to be a house owner and I can see this dream coming true in a couple of years as I have zidisha am thrilled as I can see a brighter future a head

Loan Proposal

Hello zidisha lenders I wanted a loan to buy a water pump for my farm this will really ease on the farming as my employee has to go to the river which is just near the farm and this is hectic for him and this will ease on the farm work. The pump is almost 350 usd I will add on the rest of the amount.
