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

thank you lenders for your loans.they have really helped me.this has seen my production per half an acre move from five bags to seven bags and am expecting it to increase to even move to ten bags.I am now requesting for 33 dollars to help prepare my land for the next season.I am going to use proceeds from sales to repay the loan as a agreed.

    Hi Lenders.
    Elizabeth is still having financial difficulties but she says she is working hard to make sure she pays all her arrears. I talked to her about reducing her instalment amounts further and she said she will review. I wished her all the best

    We are interested in how you are using the cow. For example is it being milked?
