About Me

My names are Kevin Ouma. I am the second born in my family out of three children. Both my parents passed away when I was still a young boy aged only 10 years and therefor I spend the rest of my childhood in an orphanage. The life in orphanage was good and I thank Mrs Okello for taking good care of me and taking me to school.
After completing school it was now time to leave the orphange since I was 19 years old. I went back home with $300 that I was given to use to start life outside ,to construct a semi permanent house and clear my for for planting tomatoes and kales . I sold the produces and invested in goat farming . I am currently a mixed farmer with horticulture,goats and poultry.
I started the business to sustain my need and support my sibling. I am happy things worked out and the business is doing well. I am now married and expecting a baby soon.
I visit my children in my former home and talk to them. I always encourage them to work harder and things will work out for them.

My Business

I provide assorted farm produce to my clients .I sell goat milk,vegetables and chicken to my clients.
The demand for these goods is high because of dense population in my area.
I choose agribusiness because it is profitable ,easy to manage and also enjoyable.
My typical costs per month is $150 and my monthly income is $350 per month.
I use my profits through supporting orphans in my former home through supplies and buying items for the children. I use the rest for farm expansion and supporting my young brother and my wife.

Loan Proposal

Hello lenders, I am now transplanting my tomatoes from the seed bed into garden. I expect to transplant 1000 seedlings into one acre farm . I am kindly requesting for an urgent loan to help me buy more manure for transplantation. I would use the $75 loan I would get from the loan to buy one truck of manure to help me in transplantation.These will make my tomatoes grow more healthy and give me good quality fruits.Thank you
