About Me

I am David Omondi a 29 year old farmer from a remote town in Kenya called Molo. I have a degree in Communications and Public Relations and currently practising as a Marketer in Kenya's capital Nairobi. I am passionate about making Kenya as a whole and especially my little town Molo self sufficient when in comes to agricultural produce, a dream I know is not easy to achieve especially considering the financial constraints. I also realize that it is not a project I can handle alone, it would need team work

My Business

My business is a potato farm where I plant seasonally and distribute the produce to various hotels. The business is on a one acre piece of land and is mainlymanned by ma parents who are retired and worked in the Ministry of Agriculture. My plan is to expand over the years and produce more, while creating a brand image for my produce by delivering quality to my clients

Loan Proposal

It is the start of another planting cycle for me. I would want to get quality seeds for my next cycle, hoping for a better harvest than last season's. I would hence like to request for a loan to top up what I have saved for purchase of seedlings

    Hi lenders. I have reached Omondi and he promise me that he will adjust loan downwards so that he will afford paying from what he earn.

    Kind regards
    Joseph.

    The last loan I was offered was really helpful in helping me prepare for the harvesting season. I was able to travel and plan for the harvest period in good time

    I am having a bit of financial challenges at the moment. I am planning to harvest sometime soon and after that I should be able to repay the entire amount

    I would like to thank my lenders for the loan I received of Ksh. 4,964. The loan will help in sorting out part of my labour fees as I prepare for the harvest period.

    I first wish to thank my lenders for funding this loan. I intend to use this loan for pay for some labour charges at the farm as I prepare for harvest period

    The loans I have gotten previously have helped me take care of my farm through purchasing fertilizer and pesticides

    Hello David, can you get in touch with Zidisha to reduce your payments to a more manageable level? That is better than letting yourself get behind with your payments, which can make it harder to get a future loan.
    God bless you,
    Wendy

    I am grateful to my lenders, I received my loan which was disbursed on November 10th. I have already bought pesticide, I intend to start work on the farm over the weekend.

    I will get pesticide for my farm. This will help me get a healthy yield during harvest time hence quality supply. I am indebted to my lenders for making this a possibility

    I needed a loan for transport expenses to my farm. This I achieved as I needed to go sort out a few issues at the farm
