About Me
My name is Nancy Owino. I am the third born in a family of six children. I grew up with lots of challenges during my childhood. One major challenge was a lack of food and fees. I struggled through primary school, walking long distances just to attain education. I passed well and an aunt sponsored me through secondary education.
After completing my secondary education, I joined Kisumu Polytechnic for a diploma in business administration. I looked for a job but was not lucky. The is when I decided to start farming so as to be able to take care of my bills before I can get a job. I borrowed $100 from my aunt, bought seeds for cow peas and planted in half an acre. I sold it out and made $130 in three weeks. It dawned on me that I could make much out of farming if I gave it more attention.
I have expanded my farm to have 3/4 acre, and planted various types of [plants]. Among them are cabbages, kales and tomatoes. I tend to use organic fertilizer more as I focus in organic farming.
I am an athlete and, whenever I am not in my farm, I am out there training. I believe I am a talented athlete. I run to national levels for my school and college.
My Business
I do vegetable farming in 3/4 acre of land. I plant my vegetables in an open field and do irrigation to protect them from harsh weather. I also do mulching to protect soils from losing too much water. I produce high quality vegetables, and this has always given me a competitive edge against my competitors. The demand for vegetables has risen in the recent past due to declining agricultural land, growth in population and lack of technology adoption to produce more. I actually started farming as it was the only option with better returns and less start-up capital.
My monthly income average is $320 and my typical costs are $150 per month. I use my profit to pay fees for my siblings, buy basics for my aging parents and save for my degree.
Loan Proposal
