About Me

I'm a passionate entrepreneur who continually seeks for opportunities for growth.
I chose the food sector owing to the fact that food is non seasonal and a mandatory item on the family budget.
Currently, I'm doing farming with an aim of combining farming and agricultural products supply in the near future.

I'm seeking a partnership with lenders from the Zidisha forum for now and in the future expansion of this promising business.

My Business

Currently, I have diversified into farming. Agriculture is an evergreen industry and is the backbone of my country's economy.


People must eat irrespective of the economic conditions of the time.

Peas have a huge demand in Kenyan towns especially in Nairobi and Mombasa. I have started farming this economically sustainable crop in Nyandarua County which is one of the main peas-producing counties due to the cold climate that suits the crop. Since there are many farmers here, market is readily available because resellers are guaranteed a supply of peas all year round.

Nyandarua is also moderately populated and this ensures availability of agricultural land for lease.

I have the technical know-how and the passion for success in Agriculture. I hope to utilise the funding I get from zidisha to gradually expand my farming enterprise.

Project Proposal

Please help me buy a popcorn machine. The machine will be a great addition to my business. It will help me diversify and add a new revenue stream in my snacks shop.

    Thank you very much for the backing. I will lease 2 acres of land and expand my peas farming business. I will work hard to repay the loan hopefully within 4 months. I appreciate your help immensely. God bless.

    This is the field I want to plant peas in. It is a two acres farm leasable for a minimum of one year which will allow for about two to three crops of peas.

    Thank you very much my backers for your continued support. So far so good. My project has been successful and I have sold my peas and managed to repay my loan in 3 months rather than the six I had applied for. God bless you as you continue impacting positively on people's lives.

    Hi lenders. I appreciate your continued support.
    Your support has been phenomenal.

    Through my last loan, I procured a laptop and I now engage in online article writing when bakery business is not busy.
    I therefore have been able to diversify my earnings which has been vital during this post-covid times.

    Thanks.
