About Me

I was born 36 years ago in Kitale town in family of 10 children. My parents struggled to bring us up since they had little income. However I managed to go through high school. After high school I have lived and survived on manual jobs. I am married with one son. at the moment I do a small business and farming to survive. I play chess as my passtime activities.

My Business

I started anew business an Agrovet (an agricultural shop) shop to supply the farmers around my village with farm inputs. The business is doing well so far since i started. The products in my shop include pesticides, herbicides, seeds, and other items that are used by farmers. the business has been there for some time. at the moment my customers are demanding that i supply them with newer products as we enter into the season of harvesting . That is why I am requesting lenders on zidisha to help me with a loan that I may be able to meet all my customers demand. Thank you Zidisha

Loan Proposal

I will buy more potaoes and sell them at Kitale town market. I am currently doing the same business but in small quantities. food stuffs business does very well in this town. I buy a bag at 17dollars and sell it at 30 dollars. with this loan I will be able to buy 3 bags and sell them in a period of one week. this will boost and expand my business.
