As I have mentioned above My name is Grace Wambui am 27 years old. We are in a family of seven three brothers, two sisters mother and father. I live in Nyeri and am a greenhouse farmer.the zidisha loan will help me in getting the services of a good agronomist and also ensure i get one permanent employee who will be of assistance in taking removing the weeds and also ensuring the highest standard of hygiene are observed,Am doing all these to ensure i get a bumper harvest,The harvest will begin in three weeks time and am projecting to be harvesting a minimum of a hundred kilograms per week.The market price at the moment is 50 kenya shillings per kilogram.With that i will be able to pay my loan with ease.By the end of the year am planning to have atleast 5 greenhouse kits.
Thank you zidisha team for my first loan I did manage to construct a greenhouse and it was really successful and on the profits I made I manage to construct 2 more green houses even though my goal was 5 green houses by the end of this year I believe am almost there. Now I wanted with the zidisha loan to be able to add and construct another one to make the green house 4 of them. This will really boost my income and be able to help the community am also having a program to feed the street children and also help those who are willing to go back to school. I believe with the help of zidisha loan I will be able to earn more and on the other hand able to help more children off the street and also feed them with the profit I make.
