About Me

I was born in Kendu Bay in a family of six siblings my father was a farmer,i went to Otok primary school and later on joined Otok Secondary and after wards joined Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and technology where I studied agriculture,meet my husband in the year 2000 and got married then and since then I settled in Komarock estate am a mother of two sons and am employed at the Kenya Research Institute I started my farming business out of the love and passion I have in Agriculture,during my free time I like playing with my boys football and I also like traveling.

My Business

My business is basically agriculture I grow crops for food and also for selling,i have a piece of land that I plant food crops like maize and beans and i also plant sukumawiki or you may call it Kale the crops I grow are very marketable and that's among my reasons for the attachment i have for my line of business since I don't need to depend on my job or my husband,from the money i get from my business I cost share with my husband to meet our house hold needs and the rest I save.

    Being the beginning of the year the income is quite down, hence it has a ffected income flow

    The business is still down,the weather has affected the production, layers are not laying eggs as they should, hence the reduction of income

    With the onset of the rain, the production of eggs has gone down,and that has affected the incoming income

    Thank you all for the last loan you gave me. Kindly I need your support once again, I need 60,000 Kshs equivalent to 600 USD, for harvesting after successful planting season. The amount will help me to pay for labour as well as to supply my old and new clients effectively as well as save more and repay my loan as schedule. Thank you and God Bless.
