About Me

I used to have a decent job,the pay was reasonable enough to enable me provide for my family,however things became rather complicated when my wife gave birth to my last born,she developed an illness,she was diagnosed with cancer of the liver,i lost concentration of my job since i had to be there for her as she sought treatment,i was also up and down trying to get well wishers to come to her rescue and pay for her medical bills,i was eventually fired and this made things even more complicated,my wife later passed on,i have been unable to acquire another job.

My Business

i have been jobless for quite sometime,i have hence thought of doing a farm project in a bid to get a source of income,i am lucky to own a piece of land that i inherited from my father,the current challenge i have right now is that i lack capital to enable me start a project that would enable me have a source of income,i have intentions of cultivating the land and start planting potatoes,which i will later sell at the local market,i also have ambitions of starting a poultry project in the future to supplement the income from the potato project.i would highly appreciate if given this chance to make something out of myself.

Loan Proposal

i will use the loan from zidisha to buy potato seeds and fertilizer at a cost of $100 to enable me start a potato project,the loan will benefit me greatly and i will finally get an opportunity to do a business that will be sustainable.I will in addition buy fertilizer at $50 to boost my crops and make them grow healthier and faster.
