About Me

I was born and raised in a small village of masimba. this is where i schooled and did my studies. i later finshed my studies but i did not pass well. i lived in the country side in assisting my father and mother with farming.i later got married and started my own farming. so as to fend for my family

My Business

i do livestock farming. i have two dairy cattle . i raise them in a zero grazing because i have a small piece of land.
i have leased a piece of land where i have planted na nappier grass.
i liked this business because it is easy as i do it in the country side and there is deamand of milk in the neasrby shopping centre.
this businesss has helped me feed my family as well mas pay for the fees of my children

Loan Proposal

Currently hay has became very demandable, and it fetches very good money. I intend two plant 3 acres of hay, from which i expect to haves aroung 100 bales. So i need this money for tilling the shamba, to buy fertilizer and for buying seeds
Tilling one acre costs around 8 dollars so for three acres that is 24 dollars
i need four bags of fertilize and one bag goes for 20 dollars totalling to 60 dollars
seeds for this shamba will cost around 20 dollars
the rest of the money i will use for labour during the whole period up to the time i harvest

    I am not able to raise the current amount. The current instalment is beyond my means and that is i need to adjust it. As i had explained earlier i had incurred a great loss in farming . This was due to unpredictable climatic conditions. The long dry spell led to meagre harvest of potatoes .

    I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely appreciate the help you have extended to me since I joined zidisha. The financial support helped me to improve agricultural production. The improvement was remarkable. However a farmer in crop production is at the Mercy of the climate. Therefore, I experienced a long dry spell and at this time I had planted potatoes .This catastrophe crippled me financialy. Thus I am currently unable to raise even the current instalment. I am requesting the instalment to be reduced to sh.100 and to pay in five consecutive instalment until the time I shall be stable financially.

    Dear Zidisha lenders and friends,

    I hope you are allwell. I managed to talk to George Mogaka and he agreed to resume repayments of the loan issued. He mentioned the weekly repayment is a bit high for him as he cannot adjust it downwards

    Dear Zidisha lenders,

    I hope you are well. I managed to talk to George Mogaka and agreed to resume repayments of weekly basis. Just that he mentioned the weekly repayment is a bit high for him even during adjustment. I also advised him to regular update you in case of any difficulties in repayments.

    Mogaka has complained about the higher amount the system is showing since the business is low and the profit can't meet.
