My names are John Gachambi wathimba, Born in the 1984 in Nyandarua county, central province in Kenya. I went through my primary education in Nyandarua where i obtained my KCPE certificate, later I went through the KCSE where I obtained my certificate. I worked parttime until 2006 where i joined Egerton University for my degree course. I am the 7th in a family of 7. Am married with one child aged 2yrs. I am currently working as a teacher at Muruaki secondary school teaching Business studies and mathematics as major subjects.
Currently am operating a small poultry firm at Rugongo village, my home place with the help of my wife since i got temporary job as a teacher. I was introduced to Zidisha by my friend who is beneficiary. After studying carefully how it works and going through testimonials from members who have borrowed from the same. i became interested. In my small business venture i keep kienyeji poultry birds which produce eggs that have high demand than the grade ones (layers) I collect about 20 eggs, this tranlates to 600 eggs per month and I ussually sell at wholesale at Ksh 12. This averages to about 7200 sh. per month and from this am able to buy feeds for the poultry. This is a good business venture since my wife who is unemployed is able to earn income and assist me for family upkeep.
given 9,000ksh it will assist in constructing at the beginning simple silage box .
this will go a long way to support my small dairy farm and especially during dry season .this will ensure continued profit through out the year, of course the main challenge is preservation of animal fodder .
