About Me

My name is John and I come from Kenya. I am the first born in a family of eight six boys and two girls. I did my Advanced level whereby I qualified to join the University. Later studied Philosophy and Theology which i passed with good honours and then got a job with the Child Welfare Society of Kenya. In this position i supported many orphans and vulnerable children thrive well with good care and protection. I am married and with six children all going to school and colleges. I love my family.
My hobbies are aerobics, jogging and hiking big mountains. I have done several hikes to almost all the big mountains in Kenya.

My Business

I have been jobless for some few years and therefore engaged myself in running a small shop for groceries, cereals and other general goods. It is able to provide food for the family but for educational needs I have to supplement with renting plots where I plant assorted plants such tomatoes, potatoes, peas and onions to sale to the market once they mature.
This way I am able to make some profit that I use to pay fees for my children's education. Any help or support to help realize this dream of educating all my children is well appreciated. Thank you.

Loan Proposal

Invest in buying rice from suppliers in the field. Then i will invest back the interest into the retail business and develop the sales gradually. Rice is cheaper when you buy from the rice fields and having friends to bring it to my store without charging me transport. The profit margin from the rice sale is minimal but with frequency of in supply and demand the profits increase gradually as you can do two to three trip deliveries in a week.

    In these perilous times, this is exactly the kind of loan I am eager to support. But John Fisher Kanene needs more money, so other lenders, please dig deep to help him reach this worthy goal.
    Thank you
