About Me

Am 27 years of age, born from a family of 10 siblings as 8th born. I schooled in a day primary school as well as secondary school.
An important goal in my life was to pursue a degree coursed which I achieved by leaving school late than others and making to school early than others for studies because it was a great challenge to get paraffin in family for after- class studies.
Due to the challenges of finances in my family, I started investing in pig rearing, from small salary I was getting after being employed temporarily after secondary school. This was to boost me in paying my university fees.
In my culture, they call out small scale farming and more so interesting in investing in available opportunity.
My hobby is playing music instruments, currently playing piano.

My Business

Currently, I deal with pig rearing. I either by piglets rear for some months and sell them or for piglets bearing. I also by mature pigs n take them for slaughter which in returns gets profit.
For mature pigs, we sell at slaughter price 320/- per kilogram as per today. Buying n selling mature pigs can get average of 1500/- as profit.
I have spending my profits by paying my university fees.

Loan Proposal

Once awarded this loan, I will use it to boost my pig rearing; I will spend US $ 102 to buy 5 piglets @ US $ 20.3; US $ 20.3 for their house and rest for feeds. Rearing these ones, after five six months, will make approximately US $ 305 profit. Feeds after first-feeds-purchase, I will get from the profit am currently earning from pig rearing.

      This is fine Joseph. What is important, for your own benefit is that you change the schedule, before the payments are due....You seem to understand this, which is good.
      Good luck
