Robert kariuki kabiru is my name, i was born in 1983 in nyahururu in nyadarua county where i was third in a family of 10 in my mother house because my father was having two wife i live in munanda center where i have a plot no 889/t,i started my primary education in nyahururu day school in my village.i completed my primary in 1994 and join secondary education in 1995 in nyahururu boy secondary school and complete having score c in all subject. i didn't join college because my father couldn't afford because of the other children who were depending in him,but because he was having another land in munanda he told me to go and develop that shamba,i stated by preparing the farm and plated, the harvest became very well and i was able to harvest 100 bug in 21/2 actre. i planted the second year and also get a wife .i got also a good return in harvest, so i decide to start a business
the business of cereal in this area is profitable because this is agricultural area where the main clop and also cash crop is maize and beans.sometime when other place get drought this area produce food security for the drought stricken area .last year i was able to buy enough cereal from the farmers because of high volume of cereal in this area to bought.many people get good harvest and also the price was not high as everybody having the same,but because i used all money i am not able to transport the cereal to the market, so i hope zidisha org will give me this loan so that i can be able to transport to the market.the main challenge is poor road in this area, luck of finance,high price of commodity in this country
thank you lenders and zidisha for giving me this golden opportunity to get this loan.in this loan i want to use it in this way, first i want to transport the already stock in my store because it is congested because i don't have money to transport and the lest i will add more so that when i return from selling, i will have enough to return to the market again,and because i have employed somebody in my store, he will be buying when i am in the market selling the already cereal.
