About Me

I went to schooled at Kipsaina primary school and later on joined Wareng secondary school, i never made it to college as a result of low grades that was attributed by lack of spending most of my time in school as result of being chased away because of school fees every now and then.
Together with my bother who was a bit well off financial we started farming at home because my mother owned a very large piece of land. We planted maize for the first time and honestly, these has been a stepping stone in our successful living. I am yet to get kids, my hobby is dancing an playing soccer.

My Business

i do farming and aside for that i am employed as a sales person where i sale and market different products for our company and paid on commission basis. These goods on the farming part is very important because it help in sustaining people in our area since maize is the staple food for many of us and thus with the maize people are able to get food, on the other hand the marketing services that i offers is very [important because it increases the demand for the companies product as we are able to inform many people about the product and its usefulness and hence increasing the demand. i chose thee business because it was a side hustle that could help me make money aside from my farming business, i use the income that i get to support our farming business as well as support my other siblings in school.

Loan Proposal

i will use the loan ones i receive it to buy a money maker pump costing 200 us dollars, with 95 us dollars as loan from zidisha, i will add a total of 105 us dollars amounting the capital to200 usd and buy the machine.
I will benefit so much from the machine because with it, we will be able to irrigate our farm during dry seasons and ensuring that our production goes on throughout the year.
others will also benefit because i will be leasing out the machine to them at a fee.
