About Me

i am a 1982 born lady from busidibu village married and with three children.i was born in a polygamous family and has seven siblings and fifteen brothers in total.my parents supported me to primary and secondary schools but were not able to send me to college. after some years without school i decided to get married and has brought up this family so far. i really love my children and do anything to raise money to support them.some say they want to be doctors while one says she would wish to be ateacher. i am very proud to contribute to their development.

My Business

my family i nitialy was supported by my spouse who is a painter and works in nairobi. the income does not seem adequate as sometimes he gets work sometimes he doesnt.this has made me think of some ways of raising funds.this has led me into farming. i till the a half acre owned by my family and keep a small flock of hens.in a month i am able to get about 50 dollars. 40 dollars are used to for food and the remaining 10 dollars for school fees.

Loan Proposal

i am requesting for kes 2205 to buy more fertilizer.this is enough for buying 50 kg of calcium ammonium nitrate.this .i expect is really going to boast my harvest this season.i have planted about one acre of maize and was expecting to get about ten 90 kilogram bags but with the fertilizer i expect to get three more
