About Me

My names are John Ngugi Ngigi from Ngecha village in Kiptangwanyi shopping center. Ngecha village is in the northern part of kiptangwanyi shopping center. I was born in Nakuru district at Kiptangwanyi. I attended Muriricua primary school and later joined Muriricua secondary school. After I completed my Kenya Certificate of Secondary School, I attended an agricultural course at Baraka Agricultural center in Molo. This was a two year course and I gained a lot of experience in livestock farming and management. This enabled me to realize the potential that was there in businesses that deal with livestock keeping. I therefore decided to start an agrovet shop at the center and this has been operating well since then. I live in plot number 1320.

My Business

I am renowned businessman at Kiptangwanyi shopping center where I operate an agrovet shop. I usually sell livestock feeds and livestock medicine.I started this business in the year 2006 and I have been operating it since then. The business is profitable and it is a good source of livelihood for my family. The main challenges that this business encounter are drought which reduces pastures land and thus affecting livestock production. This reduces the consumers purchasing power. This is not very usually good for the business.

Loan Proposal

Thank you to you all lenders and the whole of Zidisha team.
Once I am granted the loan, I would like to add more stock of the livestock feed as well as increasing the variety of the feeds that I sell in my shop. This will make me to expand the scope of my customers by increasing the variety from which they can choose from. I would also like to start selling feeds for others such as rabbits and fish as we have few farmers who keep rabbits as well as fish.
