About Me

l was raised in the rural areas by my grandmother who was working in a children's home in my rural area. I am a graduate and actually went through a lot before I finished my education, but God is good my grandmother was assisted by well wishers to pay for my school. After school I have ventured in to businesses which has really changed my life. I have borrowed money from zidisha to grow my business. With agri-business you can never go wrong. This has really help me because the money I get from the business pays all my bills and invest the remaining back in to business.

My Business

Like I said beforel am farmer who has venture in to rabbit farming. I once visited a rabbit farm and learned alot on how to rear rabbit and where to get market for the same.. Demand for rabbit meat is high. Everything about rabbit is money. A mature rabbit goes for about 6000 kenya shilling now while the small once go or around 3000. I now have 25 mature rabbit Ieach at 15000 Kenya shilling. I also have 15 sacks of the rabbit poop and sack goes for 2100 kenya shilling and its urine is about 150 Kenya shilling. All this minus the expenses translate to profit. The rabbit need new hatches and I also need to repair the once that are faulty and separate them to 2 per each hatch because at the moment the are over crowded which is dangerous for the small once they can be easily hurt by the big once

Loan Proposal

I am planning to buy fertilizer or manure, since the soil is a bit acidic this will help to balance the soil PH to hence leading to more yield. I also want to buy more seedlings so that I can plan on the remaining piece that is lying ideal. I have ready market for this produce and am sure this will help me grow my business and even hire am eighth of land and plant more sweet potatoes. Thanks for your support and hope to hear from you soon - regards Anne
