About Me

I am now diversifying into honey selling and packaging.

Am re activating my membership in Zidisha to benefit from crowd funding as I continue in my new business and grow steadily.

Zidisha has helped grow my business in the near past.

My Business

I get income from selling honey.


This a new business but very promising because it's already bringing in some revenue and profit.

Am re activating my membership in Zidisha for support of my new business of selling pure honey.

I hope I will benefit from small to medium capital from Zidisha members to grow my business from strength to strength.

Loan Proposal

Establishment of a Seedlings Nursery



I have started a seedlings nursery farm that is at per with the Kenya Forest Service standards.In the nursery are fruit tree seedlings (pawpaw,mango,orange) and also hardwood tree seedlings of melia volkensi and eucalyptus.These seedlings should be watered regulary and should be propagated using outlined procedures in order to ensure their survival and transplantation success.The cost of raising seedlings is not cheap and may need hiring the services of an expert technical agronomist which is essential for survival of the seedlings.Once the seedlings are of age they are ready to be transplanted and sold,that’s six months onwards.The market is available ,actually the demand outweighs the supply.

    I have spoken to Erick and he has promised to repay his loan in due course as he has been having some financial constraints

    I want to assist entrepreneurs in getting a Zidisha loan ,this is partly because I am Zidisha volunteer Mentor.The other reason being the motivation to help my fellow Kenyan in personal development.
