About Me

my names are partick mbaya, am 34 years old. i was born and brought up in meru. we are in our family and i am the eldest. being a big family growing up was difficult due to limited source of income, sometimes some of us had to compromise so the the others would get the little we had. our father passed on while we were really young, this meant we had to depend on our mother who was working in a tea factory by that time, she lost her job shortly after our father passed on, things were not good at all, i remember i had to stop going to school for a whole year because we wouldn't raise the school fees required. my mother scummed to pressure and she got ill and pass on a few moths later now being the eldest i was left with the task of taking care of my siblings, i was forced to drop out of school to find a job. i got job in one of our neighbours as a farm boy, i woked there and i was able to take care of my younger sibling, i did like the idea of being left behind so i had a schedule whereby after my work i would go borrow books from my friends and try to learn what they have been taught. i was able to sit for my secondary exams. i did pass but i wouldn't go further due to my financial restrains. thats when i decided to get into dairy cows farming.

during my free time i like getting together with my fellow farmers, this way we discuss how we can better our practice and also give each other advice on any arising problems

My Business

i have 3 dairy cows, and i rely on the milk produce to make my income. i choose these kind of business because i had passion in taking care of cows, its something that really got into me and so far it has helped me a great deal.

i have put my cows into schedule whereby they alternate production seasons, this means i'll have milk all through the year. in a day my cow produces 17 litres of milk, i consume 2 litres and sell 15 litres, a litre goes for kes 70 that means i make kes 1050 a day making it a total of kes 31500 amount.... i spend kes 12685 to buy fodder and feeds for my cows , kes 8000 to take care of my household bills and save kes 10000 per a month.

Loan Proposal

I would like to request for a loan of 150 us dollars to purchase fodder and feeds for my cows this is to add my animals productivity.

I hope you can fund my loan.
