About Me

My name is Thaura Katana 25 years old. I am the first born in the family of 8. My childhood education laid strong foundation to my life but it was not without challenges. Some of the challenges were, finances, food and books. Despite of all this I passed my examination well until I joined college. I started my business as a way of making income because of lack of employment in my country. My hope is so bright if all the young youth invest in entrepreneurship.

My Business

I practice organic farming as my business. This type of farming is cheap to practice because all the manure that I use is readily available from the animals. The products from organic farming have a high demand from buyers. This is because the vegetables are chemical-free and don't cause diseases among the people. I started my business with about about $10. I want to grow it large.

Loan Proposal

I will use this loan to buy pesticides for controlling pests. To increase production and yield of the crops I need to spray the crop with pesticides. This will help me produce health vegetables fresh to the market. I have been experiencing loses caused by pest attacking my crobs I will eliminate this and increase the amount of money that I earn as profits.

    Hi Thaura,
    using pesticides is not organic farming btw. Can you you think about organic methods to control pests? Nevertheless I support your project and hope you think about organic methods without pesticides like using better varieties...
    All the best

    Hello Thaura,

    I am sorry that you don't have any funding for your loan yet. I wonder if, like me, other potential lenders may be a little confused. Are you practicing organic farming or inorganic - what is inorganic farming? What pesticides do you need to buy? Do these comply with organic farming methods? Do you use other organic methods such as crop rotation and attracting beneficial insects?

    Perhaps next time if you explain a bit more about these things, you might attract more lenders. I'm keen to support organic farming, but was unsure what pesticide you are wanting to buy.

    Good luck!

    This organinization will reduce the unemployment levels in the world hence increasing food security.

    I will use this loan to buy organic manure. I will use this to apply on my crops in order to improve the yields and the quality of vegetables that I grow in my farm. I will benefit greatly from this project because my customers too. I project that my future will be promising with large size of land and high products. Thank you Zidisha for the loan and all lenders
