About Me

I come from a family of 7 brothers and 3 sisters of whom 3 are teachers and the remaining 6 are subsistence farmers. I have a family of one wife, three girls and a boy. I grew up in an environment of rice farming but of late, water is the major challenge.
I like horticulture and my main interest is indigenous vegetables which have a lot of nutritional value in our community.

My Business

My chicken farm is doing well but my serious challenge is acquiring feeds and handling diseases that require vaccination. I need money to improve the security of my farm.

Loan Proposal

I need some money for feeds. My chicken are doing well but sometimes I struggle to get them food.

    The last loan was very helpful in helping me add a few equipment for feeding the birds. I just had a small challenge in raising the money because one of my daughters was unwell at a time I was to pay back the required amount.

    I received 1137. I have been able to buy some vaccines for my birds. I intend to procure another batch in January for sales in April. Thank you very much.

    The loan I had taken earlier helped in purchasing some farm inputs like pesticides and labour cost. I only experienced a little crop failure and now am trying poultry. I will go back to vegetable farming next year when I get more funds.

    The amount of money I need will go along way to help get some farm tools

    I appreciate the loan I was given though the money was deducted part of which was used as registration fees and other miscellaneous expenses.
    So far I still need help in acquiring farm tools.
