About Me

I was born in kakamega town, lurambi village in a family of five I being the third born. I went through lurambi primary school after which I joined kakamega high school for my secondary education. Later joined sigalaga institute and did a certificate of business management.

My Business

I ventured into business of fruit vending. I got the capital by selling a cow that my Dad gave me. I decided to start my own business as I never wanted to be employed by someone. I decided to sale my cow as it could take long to make profit.

Loan Proposal

I shall purchase one cow once I receive the loan. Already I have some savings of $80. Am also expecting some profit once I sale some chickens. I would like to purchase a young cow that cost about $200.
Once this cow mature, it will provide my family with milk and before that day come, it will be giving me manure for my small vegetable garden. And all this dreams I have will only come true by your assistance. Thanks so much for your past support.

      That’s great news. I hope that it continues to grow well and that you are able to create a lot of profit. Is this mais for human or for animal consumption?

    I will use the loan to buy maize seeds for plantation. Also will buy fertilizer for planting. This loan will be helpful to me since i will be able to continue doing mixed farming thus rearing more cattle milk and poultry farming at my own farm. In return this investments will give me good profit. Thanks my lenders for your great support.
