I am Gladys Wangechi, born in Nyeri county of Kenya. I am a trained teacher teaching in a local secondary school. I also do farming as a side business to supplement my salary, which is not enough to cater for all the family needs.
I am married with two children, aged 5 and 7 years old. My husband works in another city where he operates a taxi business.
I do modern farming where I grow tomatoes in a greenhouse. I started this project three years ago after undergoing training, which was conducted by an NGO that advocates for self-reliance.
It has been a wonderful experience since my land, which had been bare for many years, can now produce healthy tomatoes for family consumption and also for sale. I make about 1,500 USD per year from the sale of these tomatoes. I have plans to diversify to more crops like strawberries in the near future.
With Zidisha's support I have managed to increase my farming area to one acre from the previous half an acre. I have one green house and I have also started doing open irrigation.
For my farming to be successful, I do not rely on rainfall which has become very erratic of late due to climate change. The solution lies in doing irrigation and my source of water is a borehole which is in my compound.
With this money, I will be able to buy pipes which are needed for transporting the water and a pump for getting water from the borehole. This will definitely increase my farming production and hence more profitability.
Thank you.
