About Me

My name is Christine Mwendwa. I am 25 years old. I started venturing in the poultry business four years ago to earn a living. It has been a tough journey, but I really thank God because I have managed to come out successful. Poultry farming, apart from enabling me to pay my bills, revenue, rent and take care of my basic needs, is also my hobby since I like it so much. I mostly deal with quails, broilers, turkeys and layers. It is quite challenging, but the experience I have has enabled me to tackle any hindering challenge around me.

In the future, I plan to expand my farm so that I will start supplying big hotels [restaurants], since I have been receiving many orders but due to lack of funds I am unable to satisfy their demand.

My Business

As I said earlier, I am in the poultry business. I mostly supply eggs and meat. My business is quite profitable, because in a week I make sales of about$144. This enables me to pay my two workers, pay my rent, revenue and still save some money for my own use.

Being in the Coastal region, the demand for poultry is very high because almost every household depends on poultry for their food supplements. Quail eggs are very nutritious and, in most cases, my quail egg buyers are patients since the eggs have a medicinal value. Because of my weekly income, I have no doubt that, given a Zidisha loan, I can easily pay it back without any difficulty.

Loan Proposal

I have been in this poultry business for quite sometime now.I thank the zidisha team for helping me through.My poultry stock have increased greatly.With this loan i will purchase materials to build more bird cages.These will include wood,wire nets,nails,iron sheets and will also use it to pay the construction worker.These new cages will provide ample space for the birds and even new ones.This will be of so much benefit since it will give more space to increase my stock and also reduce chances of diseases due to congestion.With this project i expect to get a higher profit margin by a half of what i accrue currently.Thanking you in advance.Looking foward for a positive feedback.
