About Me
I am a pastor in one of the dry areas of machakos district kenya. I am the 8th born of a family of 10. During my primary education, I had to drop from school to go and work as a herds boy for three years before going back to school. I grew up in abject poverty that is why I like empowering young people.
As a pastor I like teaching young people life skills and identifying their potential.
I also registired a business firm on investiments.
My Business
As a pastor and a teacher, I get some allowances from the pastoral ministry as well as from teaching. Besides this, I have some investments through my business firm where I have a farm for growing some crops for sale. I use what I get for educating my children as well as meeting the basic needs of my family. I have noted that there is a high demand of indigenous chicken and so I felt I can venture into poultry and help the youths in the church to establish some income. I would like also to diversify my project to include dairy keeping due to high demand for milk.
Loan Proposal
With the loan I will buy chicks and set up a chicken house. This will be the lndigenous birds that are in high demand. I will use this as a training ground for the young people where they shall be coming to learn as they participate in the project and then try to set up their individual projects in their own homes.
