About Me
My name is Flaw Florence Otieno,I was born in a familly of three and grew up in Angorom Village Teso south. I went to Angorom Primary School and later joined lwanya Secondary school ,where i sat for my secondary education certificate.
Due to financially constraints I have not been able to join college,however i wish to study animal health in future.
After completing my high school ,I could not afford my basic needs,I decided to venture into farming since it was the only option i had,plus it was less capital intensive. I do rabbit farming and horticulture farming.
I have integrated the two businesses such that rabbits provide the much needed manure for the horticulture farm and the horticulture farm provides feed for the rabbits,this has been so cost effective. I have lots of passion in what i do.
Currently I have one kid call Ama,she is in baby class and wants to be a nurse when she grows up.
I love kids and so during my free time I find time to play around with kids in the nearby orphanage.I also like watching movies so much.
My Business
My business is integrated rabbit and horticulture farming,I provide my clients with healthy rabbits both for breeding as well as,meat.On the other side i also provide my clients with high quality horticultural crops,including kales and cabbages.
I choose this business because I had passion in keeping rabbits,i started doing horticulture to supply feeds for my rabbits ,but currently its doing good and is a major source of income for me.
I a good month,I spend $40 on treatment and pesticides for my farm.My revenues range between $200-$400.In a month my profits are always $200.
I use my revenues to pay fees for my neighbors orphan kid,she is bright and i always support her in anyway possible.I use the rest of the money to pay for general family expenses.
Loan Proposal
Happy festive season dear lenders and thank you for your kindness.
I am requesting for a second loan to expand my horticulture farm due to increased number of rabbits (thanks to my first loan) ,the supply for manure and rabbit urine that I use for horticural crops has drastically increased. I will use the loan for buying knapsack $120 and hand pump for irrigation $200. Thanks in advance for your support.
