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

I am planning to purchase a 2nd hand milking machine from the local veterinary shop.
The milking machine will cost $80 USD.
i have already raised $30 USD so i am in need of $50 USD.
The milking machine will really bring many benefits
some of them being
1-No sore hands or arms arising from milking
2-money will be saved by avoiding labour expenses
3-The milking machine will reduce my farms dependecy on farm workers
4-hygiene due to no handling of milk with bare hands,hence more marketable
5-a proper milking routine will reduce the stress on the stock, which not only improves the health of the animals, but also ensure a higher quality in the dairy harvest.

i expect a rise in profit if the milk machine will be availed in my dairy farm
