About Me

i am 33 years old, married with 2 kids, i was to born to a family of 4, unfortunately i lost 2 siblings and now we are two, my parents were hard working people even in hard times they always found away to make ends meet and make sure they provided what we needed. this was a great lesson to me and i alway want to be like my parents in raising my family if not better.
i try to teach my children how to live and be successful in life and how they should follow their dreams.
i love reading and most of my free time you will find with a book this expands my knowledge in so many ways helping me to face life and know what happens around me.

My Business

am into sweet potatoes farming business, it well known commodity and its something thats alway on demand, i choose to do this because most of the things i tried didn't work out and in my country it really doesn't matter if someone is a graduate or not finding a job is hard, so i saw an opportunity of employing myself and its been great.

i supply my swwet poatoes in sacks and a sack goes for kes 1000, averagely in a month i supply atleast 30 sacks, giving me an income of kes 30000, i spend kes 5,000 on transport, kes 10,000 goes to weeding, kes 5 000 goes to my kids tuition, kes 5,000 goes to my family bills and i make savings of kes 5000 every month.

Loan Proposal

First and foremost let me thank you for the first loan. Am here to request for a loan of $434 to help purchase seedlings for a new farm where I'll be planting. This is to help me not to run out of supply. I also would like to purchase 2 wheelbarrows this will help me to make deliveries easier from the farm to my store and from my store to my clients. I would also like to use the loan to increase my lease on the storage facility I rented.
I hope you will have faith in me as you did before and fund my loan.
Thanks
