About Me
My name is Isaiah Kithinji Anamba, I was born in 1977 in avillage called Thiira Kiguswa location Tigania east district Meru county, Kenya. I was born in a family of twenty two children, eleven girls and boys. I a m the seventeenth born being the sevenths born. My fathers name was Paul Anamba Muthuiru, he was a politician since 1973; due to his much involvement in politics,most of his most his children did not get enough education. In 1992 when Kenya was struggling for multi-part-ism,my father gave in to politics fully same thing that caused six of his children not to go to school.my mother used to work hard to ensure that we got food cloths and get school fees.after completing my studies,I started moving from one town to another looking for a job opportunity,so that I could offload my loaded mother who had no time to rest due to her heavy responsibility in the family.in 1996 I got a job in a certain horticulture company after working for one year,I was promoted to the position of a supervisor in irrigation department. While committed to my work the Lord called me into ministry in 1997.; of which I started preaching as a lay minister. In August 1998 the worses happened as the company closed down when its director resigned to manage his own farm, By Gods grace I secured a job in the new farm at the same position, which I held until 1999 when I was called upon by by bishop to join full time ministry. In the year 2000 after my mothers demise the Lord lead me into mission.
I am married and blessed with two children, a boy and a girl.
My Business
I have a small farm back in the village where I plant bananas, beans, maize, and other cereals which we use as source of food and sell the extra to cater for the family. I also receive sustainable from the church where I minister as well as free will offerings and gifts from well wishers. we keep poultry as our main business at our residence, I have both layers and broilers plus the local breed. I also buy chicks rear and sell when they are mature, in addition I at times buy mature chicken for resell to meet the demand of the tenders I have. we supply the eggs to few shops in the neighborhood. I currently have plans to add piggery to increase my earnings to counter the ever increasing high living cost.
Loan Proposal
I will use the funds to buy new stock of mature chicken for resell to earn immediate profits of 30-45%. I will also buy 60 one day old chicks @ Ksh. 50 which will cost an average of ksh. 6000 to feed plus about Ksh. 1500 for treatment. I will buy some fetilizer to top dress in the farm to increase the yield for maximum returns. The remaining plus some of the profit I will make I will buy one sow for breeding.
