About Me

I am Habakuku Nagemi ,I was born in Busia county to Mr and Mrs Negemi. I am the last born in a family of 5. I went to Nambale primary school and later proceeded to Nambale secondary school; were i attained KCSE certificate.
After secondary school I went looking for a job in Nairobi , I sought for jobs for a year but could not land any good job,I gave up after year and decided to go back to my home county. I didn't have anything to do and that is when I started tilling my fathers piece of land,I sold the vegetables and earned more than I was earning in Nairobi,I knew I was in business and that is how i began my journey.
I have three children Moses,olive and Monica. Moses wants to be a pilot,Olive wants to be nurse and Monica wants to be a surgeon. I know there dreams are Valid.
During my free time ,I like swimming,dancing and soccer.

My Business

I grow cabbages and kales in my quater acre piece of land .I provide my customers and the community with highly fresh nutritious vegetables for home consumption as well as for sale.
My goods (vegetables ) are always in demand since ,most part of the area are in upland and people can not farm so the depend on people living along the rivers for supplies.
Vegetables are used in almost all meals and therefore the demand is high and it also healthy to consume vegetables.
In a month I spend $100 and my revenues are $300. my profits average $150 in a month.
I use the money for children education ,food and other basic needs for the community. I am a member of Gama children home and so I donate to them in terms of vegetables.
Thank for reading my profile.

Loan Proposal

Dear ladies and gentlemen , I am Habakuku the farmer. I am requesting for a loan to buy a brand new better quality Knapsack sprayer for my farm. The current sprayer I am using is leaking and is inefficient for my farm. I had not budgeted for a sprayer this month because I am paying school fees for my kids and I thank Zidisha for the Initiative for with the loan I will have a tank on time.
Kindly assist me with $100 loan to facilitate the purchase of the new sprayer. Thanks so much and welcome to Kenya.
