About Me

l was raised in the rural areas by my grandmother who was working in a children's home in my rural area. I am a graduate and actually went through a lot before I finished my education, but God is good my grandmother was assisted by well wishers to pay for my school. After school I have ventured in to businesses which has really changed my life. I have borrowed money from zidisha to grow my business. With agri-business you can never go wrong. This has really help me because the money I get from the business pays all my bills and invest the remaining back in to business.

My Business

Like I said beforel am farmer who has venture in to rabbit farming. I once visited a rabbit farm and learned alot on how to rear rabbit and where to get market for the same.. Demand for rabbit meat is high. Everything about rabbit is money. A mature rabbit goes for about 6000 kenya shilling now while the small once go or around 3000. I now have 25 mature rabbit Ieach at 15000 Kenya shilling. I also have 15 sacks of the rabbit poop and sack goes for 2100 kenya shilling and its urine is about 150 Kenya shilling. All this minus the expenses translate to profit. The rabbit need new hatches and I also need to repair the once that are faulty and separate them to 2 per each hatch because at the moment the are over crowded which is dangerous for the small once they can be easily hurt by the big once

Loan Proposal

l am a farmer, a business that l have ventured for three years now. I started farming with my savings because am passionate about agri-business. I have hire a piece of land to do potato farming. Through potato planting I get an income of about 40,000 per month. I have managed to acquire the basic knowledge and equipment’s to boost my business through family and friends.. The main challenges of this business are Disease Control Problems- What I have borrowed will help me buy pesticide. My potatoes will grow health hence good harvest. If funded well l can make significant improvements in these production systems through the use and implementation of the most advanced and scientific practices,
