I am from western Kenya Kakamega area, I was born and raised there, growing up was mostly a struggle food was hard to get, school was out of reach, clothing was not a priority, while growing up in western part of Kenya if one is from a poor family the only thing one can do is to work in the farms of will up people, and this is what we did together with our parents they could get an acre to work on after that we all would go that farm until we finish then we would get paid as a family, and after this we would now go to school for about a month and this was our life for the longest period, until one of the people whom we worked from gave us an offer to work in his farm and he said he will only pay us very little to buy food, but he offered to temporarily let us use it to grow vegetable and sell them to earn some money to improve our financial status.
My business includes selling of vegetables from onions, African vegetables and fruits, I sell them in small quantities to the villagers, I have a great clientele that are faithful people who live within the area and they buy for lunch, and supper, as a student this boosts me to buy materials to study, money for internet and other things that I need for school because once my sponsor has paid my fees they don’t provide other things.
The loan will be used to increase stock 2000 kshs will used to buy cabbages, sukuma , and dhania, 2000 kshs will used to buy onions and tomatoes, 2000 kshs will be used to buy paw paw fruit there are very young families that have children and they buy for there children, and 2000 kshs to increase the stock of watermelons they in demand all through the year.
