Am Amos kingi Nyabuto. Am 23 years old I live in Kisii County a place called Ogembo omoringamu. Due to financial constraints I was able to complete my education so I dropped out of school when I was in form two to help out with the family farm.
In 2012 I lost my dad who was battling cancer fir some time, my mother followed in 2014 and things got really tough for me and my 3 siblings who are still in school.
since am the oldest it's my job to ensure the go to school. I have planted several crops that help with school fees and upkeep for my siblings.
I manage our family farm where I have planted several crops like bananas, beans maize and pineapple. I. Sell these in the local market to be able to earn so that I can support my siblings.
From the bananas I harvest twice per month where I earn KES 5000 per harvest making it KES 10000 every month. For the pineapples I harvest weekly for a period of 6 months in a year, from every harvest I earn KES 20000 making it KES 8000.every month for the beans and maize I have twice per year we use some of the these for home consumption then sell the rest. Am able to make KES 20000 from the sakes of the maize and beans per a season.
at times I face challenges due to luck of capital to buy fertilizer for top dressing to improve the harvest.I hope this i with this platform will help me improve my farm fir better produce.
am done with the harvesting and i need to start preparing for a new planting season, this loan will help me get seeds, fertilizer and weed the farm before i plant.
i will use:
1. 40 dollars for weeding the farm
2. 25 dollars for fertilizer and
3. 35 dollars to buys seeds for planting.
i will leave a section for planting vegetables which i will be selling on a weekly basis to help me increase my income.
i sincerely hope you will consider funding my loan to help me prepare my farm for the new season.
