About Me

my name is Alex Saidi ,born in coastal region of kenya in a place called Taveta.i was raised in a farming community where people depend on farming.I went to Timbila primary school where i completed my primary education there after i joined voi secondary school.After completion my secondary education i went back home and i started farming till to date.

My Business

i rear domestic animals animals like cows ,goats ,sheep and also poultry. i normally get income from selling of animals and poultry products like milk,meat,skin and eggs.due to my long experience in the field ,i have a lot of customers who keep on coming back for repeat business.in spite of my relative success in this field ,challenges still abound most low profit margin due to stiff competition and diseases which affect animals leading to to low production. my monthly income is about usd400 per month.i use the income to cater for my family expenses and the rest to further my education so as to improve my farming business.

Loan Proposal

dear lenders ,i would like to apply for a loan so that i can develop my farm.i have 5 ha. of land which is very fertile and it has been idle for long time.i am thinking of making the use of that land by farming watermelon and tomatoes.i have decide to plant watermelon and tomatoes because there is high demand in local market.i have also thought of doing farming which will take shortest time possible and give me returns within 4 months.
i will really appreciate if you consider my application.
