About Me

My name is Christine Njage am the third born in an extended family of five kids. my parents ensured i attended school from a tender age of three even though it wasn't always easy. especially because my dad was the sole breadwinner and had to fend for all his children and two wives,all in all i made it through by working and doing odd chores to earn my extra pocket money. As iI got to my twenties i noticed i am not going to work for others forever as its frustrating and tiresome especially when the salary sometimes is not enough or not on time. So i decided to try a little side job of my own where i could chip in a little income and thatch how i ended up with my business its not big but it helps me to be independent. Ishiara Mbeere is a semi arid area but it supports us in agriculture the sandy soil and extra rocks in our lands are added advantage both in farming and domestic advantage when it comes to building you get only to buy cement and the rest works out plus there is water for irrigation so the hot air plus our hard land is known for producing the sweetest fruits especially mangoes which we sell in large scale. i would like to be the parent that will allow her child(ren) to explore their talents not deciding for them i will only advice and guide them as i wouldn't them to have a childhood like mine where i had no choice most of the times. I love reading mystic fiction,Poetry and observing nature.

My Business

Mostly i provide farm produce as our town is still a developing town and food is mostly a basic necessity so I take that advantage.Mostly fruits ,cereal products are in high demand around here for the hotels and private schools. I chose this kind of business because i enjoy both farming and interacting so I am never feeling like I am working it mostly feels like part of me.my cost of revenue is mostly not always stable as its business and it has its ups and downs but i am able to get a profit of about 5% to 15% which is healthy for me considering i do not pay for the land on which i cultivate on. for now am mostly investing for my children and reinvesting in my business .

Loan Proposal

I am planning to grab the opportunity of this festive month, having in mind everyone is busy trying to make their family happy by buying foodstuffs and clothing, I'll be busy restocking and making sure I have all that my customers need even come January when crops will still be in the fields.
