About Me

Am a Kenyan aged 33yrs (male) and am currently in poultry farming with an aim of increasing egg production from the current 200 per day to around 1000 per day by August 2014. This I believe will not only help me move closer to financial freedom but also ensure that this treasured delicacy in my community is available to all.
I must say am happy to have heard about zidisha because I have been depending on the little profit I get from my current stock to increase production and now I can see that with this type of help I will be able to move faster hence increase my profits in the near future!!!!!

My Business

My business started as a hobby in the year 2013 as I have always had a passion for chicken and eggs.
Later on after about 5 months I realised that this was also an opening for more income and that is when I hatched the idea of increasing my stock to at least 1000 birds that can lay 1000 eggs per day.
The market for eggs in the area where I come from is high and farmers are unable to satisfy the demand hence the reason why I believe even if I produce 1000 eggs or more per day I will still be able to sell all of them.
I believe in passing on anything good that I come across the others because I know information is power. I therefore believe that someday I will also become one of the lenders and also tell more friends about this good news!!!!!!!!!

Loan Proposal

Am into poultry farming with an aim of raising the current egg production to 1000 eggs per day. Am requesting that you lend me $443 so that I can buy more chicks and spare some money for the feeds. I believe I am able to repay this money comfortably as I already have some eggs to sell per day thus making it easy for me to meet the weekly target amount for the loan

    I wish to reduce my repayment amount for the time being to enable me ease the burden of feed. I am looking forward to increasing the amount soon. After the festive season, most people are now concentrating on taking their children back to school thus reducing the demand for supplies. But am optimistic that as we get towards Easter holiday business will be back to normal.

    Recently due to cold weather, Eggs production has gone down thus reducing my weekly income hence making it difficult to pay the current amount.
    This is because the money Iget from the sale of eggs is hardly enough to buy food for the hens and pay the weekly loan amount thus forcing me to look for other means of getting the difference every week
    I am hoping to get back to normal schedule once the production of eggs gets back to normal.

        Am just so exited and words cannot express my gratitude.
        I have already booked for 200 chicks so that when the funds are disbursed I will be able to get the chicks immediately.
        Once again thank you for trusting me.

    woow!!
    Thank you ads68 your support is much appreciated.

    Am hoping that the lenders who funded my previous loans will once again fund my current application.

    blahblah, henderson, HoseB, Old_People and Silver.
    your funding for my first loan did alot to my project. May the Almighty God bless you soo much.

    hulte, Potkukelkka and SueB1 you made me move further and closer to my dream of increasing egg production. God bless all of you and increase your boundaries now and forever more!!

    I hope you will fund me again this time so that I can continue with the journey to self employment. I promise to always keep a good repayment record so as to enable all who lend me their money to get it back and pass on to others who are looking for lenders to fund their loans.

    I take this opportunity to thank all those who trusted me and gave their money to help me rause the $450 I was looking for.

    Though the application expired when it was 95% funded, I still feel humbled to have lenders who trusted me and I pray that you will lend me your money once again when I reapply for the loan.

    Wooow!!!
    I like what am seeing!!!!
    I thought my application would expire but I got a surprise by getting 40% funding in less than 18 hours. May God bless you all!!!
    Am still believing I will raise the remaining 5% before the application expires.
    Once again I thank all who have contributed and I promise to ensure I repay to the last coin without failing.

    My Loan application will expire in 4 days but am still hopeful that the generous lenders in the ZIDISHA family will help me raise the full amount before the expiry date.

    Thanks to all who have contributed their money to fund my loan. I have made new friends who are friends in deed (potkukelkka, Zelomon, Umair mahmood, sputnik, adrianogosuen, Dm9114, Vrothba1, Loungin, Cranejoad, alexvanandel, erdan, ads68, simon_agerskov and merk85) whom I will treasure for the rest of life.
