About Me

My names are Julius ochieng ojil. Am a farmer and do my farming activitie in Nyandarua County in Kinangop. I was born and brought up in a family of 8 siblings, i am the fourth born in our family ,I am a Christian where my father and mother ensured that we live the christian life since childhood ,I went to Ragia Primary School and later joined Nyandarua High School for my Secondary School Education, I am used to this place and has lived harmoniously with people around, being a Luo initialy I had thought of relocating since political climate is usually charged. But the neighbors around do treat me as one of them and with such assurances I became confident in what I was doing. I am a teacher by profession and do teaching in a nearby school.

My Business

I have a passion in farming, I am a farmer, growing wide range of crops e.g. kales, spinach and carrots in 1 Acre farm which my father subdivided to me , the last two years i been practicing this farming and saving the money plus what i get from the school that I work. I have also rented an acre of land where I have planted maize and beans. The maize and beans does well here so i have enough for my family. the challenge that we have in this area is the infestation of white flies particularly when crops are flowering. This has even led people to abandon farming. those who are determined and courageous still put on and eventually they succeed.

Loan Proposal

I am writing this proposal to you to request for loan that will go towards purchase of pesticides for use in my farm. As mentioned earlier, we have been battling the infestation of white flies that have been destructive, i intend to arm myself with pesticide from the District agricultural office which has genuine pesticide and ensure that my crops will not be damaged at the flowering stage since this will affect the output. I will buy pesticides worth $100 and will be repaying the loan using sales of kales and other produce on weekly basis.
