About Me

My name is Benard Kipyegon 33 years old and reside with my family in Nakuru County- Kenya. l am the second born in a family of six .
I grew up in the rural Mau Narok area and this is where we have a family land.
Due to financial challenges, I could not study beyond form four and life has not been easy.
For 5 years now i have been cultivating a small parcel of land that was idle at home and it has since been helping me feed my familyand with some income
I love watching movies and sports during my free time.

My Business

I am a full time farmer and I produce fruits, maize and most early maturinng crops that do well in our area- soya beans, pigeon peas, Irish potatoes.
It is my only source of food and income.
It's the onset of long rains here and it is the season we plant maize, Irish potatoes and pigeon peas.
I am passionate with farming and would like to grow into it.

Loan Proposal

It is the onset of the long rains here and we are yet to plant maize and Irish potatoes.
I already have sprout potato seeds for planting but lack fertilizer and maize seeds.
I would therefore use the $100 loan on purchasing the fertilizer and certified maize seeds for planting as soon as possible.
The loan will enable me to do a timely early planting while saving on time and resources which in turn will help me maintain and increase profits.
The timely planting will also ensure a better perfomance of the crops.
Thank you.
