About Me
Am married to Ann Wanjiru and have a 3yrs old daughter.we taught in a local private school but we decided i pull out to avoid conflict of interest and so i joined business.
My Business
I started my broiler chicken project at my rural area [Bahati].Having come from a humble background , i choose to bring change in our local village which is dominated by poverty and drug addiction.This is by job creation to the youth by employing them thus involving them meaningfully.These activity would at least engage them and lift their standard of lives. I had my chicken project.I started it all with a 100 Chick with total expenditure of ksh.26,500 and net profit of ksh,2120 after every 6.5 weeks having considered a 5% motality rate.Today am stocking 300chicks at total expenditure of ksh.69,200 and net profit of ksh.3,940 which have done well for my upkeep.Am therefor requesting for a ksh.30,000 loan which will help me stock up to 500 chicks expecting ksh.111,400 total expenditure and a net profit of ksh.10,500 and thus create employment for an extra person.As for the market its so promising as i sell my products to the same people who sells me the chicks.Finally thanks for setting your ears at the ground and making yourselves available to uplift the small enterprise.God bless you as you consider my application.
Loan Proposal
Planning is often said is half job done. This is what I have learn t embarked on translating my good idea into a concrete & viable business.
Thanks to all my lenders trough zidisha who have actually helped me realize my great potential in business management. This is by moving me from a small poultry enterprise to a large and more profitable one of dairy farming.
The mission of my farm is to improve and maintain quality of life for family members by maximizing milk production and bleeding. Being located at maii kumi (19km from Nakuru town ) the location is ideal since the climate is good for this activity. The business will again be expected to meet the high demands of the locals who will benefit from milk. The family on the other hand will benefit from milk, calves, and biogas and by- products (manure).
With all the assumptions being put into consideration I have bought a cow that is producing an average of 35 lt's of milk in a day. This translates to ksh 900 - 1200 per day. The average production cost is ksh 400 thus a profit ksh 500-800 per day. The challenge I am facing is that of a zero grazing unit do as to maintain clean and hygienic environment. This will help make the cow feel more comfortable thus higher milk production. It will also help in making it easy to tap the by-product for production of biogas. I have therefore designed a zero grazing unit that will cost me about ksh 45000 which am now appealing to Zidisha lenders to finance me.
