About Me

I am businessman, I own a cyber cafe and also supply internet within my region. I have also actively ventured into agriculture and poultry farming. I am committed to empowering my fellow youths towards economic independence and self actualization through self-employment ventures by sharing viable business ventures and ideas and working towards its implementation. I subcontract various freelancing services including online article writing but after relocating to my rural town in Bungoma I have ventured more on farming and poultry.

My Business

I have been able to venture full-time on agriculture after testing the fruits of my sweat in this field. I'm currently doing farming on my small piece of land where I plant vegetables for domestic and retailing. I have also ventured into poultry farming rearing both local and improved breeds of chicken known as kuroilers. I currently have 300 birds and am planning to venture into serious large scale poultry farming with a projection of over 1000 birds in a span of one year. I have grown in terms of skills and hands on prowess when it comes to poultry farming and I am more confident than ever that this is what I purpose to do as a career, hobby and interest. I, however, need proper housing structures and equipment for feeding and waltering. I also need an incubator because I want to start selling chicks to other farmers in my area.

Loan Proposal

This is in reference to my earlier loan that had been fully funded but not disbursed owing to some technical hitches arising from my phone number; this has since been rectified by the Zidisha support team. Now I have to publish this loan once again and i believe that you will support me on this once again and actualize my dream.

I am applying for the loan to top up and purchase a brand new laptop that will match with the high volume of work in my online businesses and freelance writing jobs. I have been using a desktop computer which is not flexible with the nature of my freelance writing job and so having a laptop will work to transform my online work and increase my output tremendously. This owes to the flexibility nature of a a laptop that I can carry with me to wherever i go and monitor the progress of my work at any time of the day or night. Further, when I purchase the laptop, I will be able to give my desktop to my other writers who exhibit excellence in their work but have no computers of their own to work with hence investing on my labor force and ultimately increase my output.
Having a laptop will go along way in spearheading my online job to the next level and i trust you will come through for me and help me realize this dream like you did before.
Thank you for the support,
Regards,
Patrick Obiero
