About Me
I'm Silas Maina from ilala village, western part of Kenya. I'm the last born in a family of six children. I cleared my Secondary education in 2019 and and decided to venture into farming activities. Farming is the main source that is sustaining my life. I love growing crops and keeping chicken.
My Business
My main source of income is from keeping of chicken and growing of vegetables for local consumption in my area. Since joining Zidisha I earn 40 USD per week from my business. The profit I pocket per week is 17.5 USD per week, this profit helps me in expanding my business and supporting my life together with my family.
Loan Proposal
I will use 20 usd to purchase four chicken, 10 usd will be used to purchase vegetable seeds, the 5 usd will be used in land preparation and the remaining 5 usd will be used to purchase fertiliser and fungicide.
Income Source
I work as a motorcycle rider after my farming practices, every day I earn 5 usd. This amount is enough to repay the loan during this hard times due to Corona pandemic. This sector of transportation has not been affected in my county.
