About Me

My name is Stephen Thuku and and born year 1976 from Kenya. I was born in the Rift Valley province of Kenya now known as Nakuru County and cleared my high school 1990 passed with a Grade C.
I latter joined technical training where I pursued a Certificate and Diploma in Print Technology and finished in May 2001 with a pass.

I got married now with two boys having lost my first born in a road accident. My sons headed to class three at Kilimo Primary School who is now about 9 years old. 

The second son is heading to three years come March 2019. He is still young so he is now at home with a house help. It was difficult to secure employment until 2013 where i got employed by Egerton University on contract basis renewable after two years therefore there is need to secure the life of my loved ones by saving and investing in them and for them.


I ventured in to part time farming where I foresee the future becoming brighter. I decided to venture in the poultry / Chicken farming becuase its manageable, and easy to run.

My Business

My business is a farming venture where I hatch day old chicks and rear them for one month in a brooder and sell at 2 USD per chick which means have done value addition hence the prospects for growth of my business is expected to be very good and profitable. I therefore need to boost my output by buying feeds and increasing the the space for another brooder to increase capacity.

Loan Proposal

I WILL BUY 10 BAGS OF ANIMAL FEEDS WHERE EACH WILL COST APPROXIMATELY 20 USD SO THE TOTAL WILL BE 200 USD FOR THE FEEDS T ENABLE THE PIGS TO GROW FASTER.

    Hello, Stephen Thuku,

    For information about what the Discussion page is for--(it's *not* for asking the Staff for help)--and to learn the correct place to ask the Staff for help, please read: www.zidisha.org/forum-threa...
    [forum-thread/1550#comment-5595]

    Also, please don't confuse lenders with Zidisha Staff.
    Although some members of the Staff also are lenders, most lenders are *not* on the Staff. Lenders contribute money to help fund loans. Zidisha Staff handles all of the administrative functions.

    Please do not reply to me here, as I won't be notified of your reply.

    Thank you.

    Kind regards,
    Laurie
    Zidisha Team
