About Me
I grew up in the upcountry of kenya.went through primary and high school then after high school started my farming business.High self esteem and hard work has always been my key way of dealing with hardships and achieving my goals in life.after high school i decided to busy a chicken with the little cash i had saved which hatched eggs and i now had 7 chicks 5 survived and grew up to 2 cocks and 3 chicken.and that's how i basically started my business.the place i come from curves sculptures out of quarries with a unique stone called soap stone.I love music ,traveling and helping people.
My Business
In kenya there is a chicken eating culture.people also regularly take eggs as part of their meals.this lead to me starting poutry farming.i sell eggs and chickens too.as per now i have 103 chickens and yet I started with one chicken.i chose this kind of business because I love chicken and i Know it is profitable.my main costs are on food for the chickens which would cost around KES 1600 ($ 18) per week.and aproximately each day i earn KES 800 ($9) from sale of eggs only. I only sell a few chickens at the end of the year.I use the profits to carter for my bills and also save to further my education so i can help my community.
Loan Proposal
Between my farm and the most places i supply my eggs is a huge distance which leaves you tired when supplying the eggs on foot and also delay in delivery which leads to loss of some customers.if i am funded i will use the loan to buy a bicycle to help me in the supply of my eggs for convenience.hope my loan will be funded.thanks to the zidisha community and lenders
