About Me

My names are Maureen Masheke ,Mrs Mondwa.I started my Poultry business but have not moved much to do to my full capacity because of money issues that has made me do less.
I have the passion and desire to see this business grow and do more in the value addition to chickens.
I would like to be assisted so that I also help my son's who are in college and also in school.

My Business

My business of Chickens is a good business and if enough capital is in ,it can create even more jobs to other vulnerable pipo around my area.
I can even enploy more workers and also to do the farming around the farm.
We have a lot of customers but can't satisfy them because I'm failing to meet the demand

Loan Proposal

With the Funds raised,I intend to buy another batch of chicks so that I manage to keep constantly..monthly if possible to supply my customers.Thank You ZIDISHA

Income Source

If at all the business fails to sustain itself,I will be able to pay my loan from my salary as I'm in full time employment

    Hallow my Zidisha team and family.
    It has been very cold and affecting my business of chickens.i didn't manage to get another batch becoz it was so cold so had a lot of mortality with my last batch.
    I will make collections fr my last month s sales beginning this week and will make some payments .
    I' have booked another batch to collect in a week s time when I make some collections.
    Another issue was the stunted growth which is I attributed to the cold weather around.

    Will make good soon
    Thank you

    Good morning my lenders.
    There has been some financial challenge s in keeping up in my business but I'm trying to keep up.
    I tried to expand my chicken run and so far so good but money or capital is not enough to finish off my project.
    I have also managed though to buy some chickens so that the business continue running.Thank you Zidisha.
    I'm sure I will be able to finish off my extension to the chicken run in my next loan and then I will be able to keep up with the business.
    At the moment,im happy with my progress.
    I intend to finish paying for my loan in the period specified at least.
    As i have trained in the value addition course to smoke chickens,im glad to say I want and intend to push my business to the next level.
    Thank you Zidisha and hoping to pay my loan quicker and contribute to this noble works.

    Good morning my lenders.
    I have started my business and pushing .the challenge I have been having is mortality and slow repayments.i hope to speed up my collections and also sell soon.looking at the economy it has been difficult to catch up but I'm trying by all means so that I settle my loan and continue the business.
    The good news is that I have managed to register my business name and hoping to open a shop that will make me sell my chickens on cash basis instead of credit.credit sales are delaying me in my business.thank you fr everything and will surely make good.

    Thank you for all the assistance.fr my last loan,I was able to increase and buy another batch of my chickens.i increased to 300 chickens and this will be giving me a 6 weeks income income of over K20,000.
    If I manage to keep monthly,like if I can buy at intervals of 4 weeks apart,I will create my income monthly and be able to increase my earnings and continue to contribute to my society by means of workers ..
    My venture is becoming a reality and my dream of becoming a bigger Poultry farmer is going to be realized.
    I plan to pay a deposit towards a plot of which my desire is to start building my house next year.
    Please I will be glad and appreciate if my loan is funded.
    Thank you my funders .
