About Me

i was born in eldama ravine,in 1960,went to school at solian girls high school.i was born to a family of peasants where we had only one meal a day. i later attended university of nairobi for my bachelors degree. i started my own dairy business after getting a piece of land,and bought 5 cows that produces 30 litres each a day. my past time is volunteering in children's homes and networking.
Where i live the land is very unique that it favors dairy farming highly.
i would loive my children to be what they aspire to be when they come of age
sometimes i like traveling, and seeing new places.go for agricultural extension and symposiums to increase my knowledge on dairy farming.
In the coming year, i am planning to venture into horticulture farming and also
take a post-graduate diploma in agriculture. i would like to help other women in eradicating poverty using farming. i would love to travel to countries with extensive agriculture.like the united states,Germany,Netherlands, Denmark.

My Business

i offer dairy business. at the moment i have 8 cows. each cow produces 30 liters of milk a day.that makes it 240 litres a day.1 liter goes for 50/- KES that is half a dollar making 12000kes a day.that is 120usd a day.
my typical costs include purchase of acaricides and deworming drugs
buying dairy feeds and supplements.i also use some funds to pay friends who help
me with the cows
i chose dairy farming as the demand for milk is always high.i use the profit for my business expansion and to pay the workers who help me with the cows,
i have also acquired a parcel of land,where i am planning to start horticulture farming
where i will take my produce to the main market and maybe export them in the near future

Loan Proposal

With the money,i am intending to purchase the 5000 litres water storage tank.
I now have the submersible water tank that zidisha helped me to buy.
i will need the storage water tank to supply water to my farm and greenhouse without water running out
This will really bring more than big benefits to my agriculture business and the community surrounding me.
It will solve water problems in my area.as we know,water is life.
The tank will supply non-stop supply of water to my farm and greenhouse
where i have cultivated,cucumbers,capsicums,french beans,carrots,,.
in the farm i have alot of spinach for sale and kales.
i also have cows for zero grazing and they will have supply of water all the time ensuring i have enough dairy products for sale.

i expect alot of profit as my crops will have enough supply of water even during dry season.
extra supply of water will be given to the nearby poor communities to help in
water security.
thank you very much.
