About Me

Am happily married with 3 children, two boys and a girl aged between 11yrs and 6 months’ am a member of Githembe Gwikuria self help group Am form 4 school leaver with a certificate in mechanics course ,depends on casual labour jobs and lives in my father’s piece of land. Business;
I borrowed kshs 70,000 in February 2011 ,constructed a cow shed and bought a cow which I reared was served and gave birth to a calf which am now feeding. In the year 2011 I had done business of buying day old calves buy milk and feeds for them and sell them when they are six months. But I was challenged by milk shortage and decided to have my own source of milk. Due to the responsibilities of feeding my family and paying school fees from casual labor I have not managed to now buy the calves as I had originally intended .I have cleared loan but the self help group can only give another loan after two years as members are many and the savings aren’t much. I would like to borrow kshs.100, 000 to enable me increase number of calves am keeping in preparation to sell as they reach at least six months. The business can give me good profit because I buy calves at kshs.2000 rear them incurring cost of kshs 5000 and can sell them at each kshs 10,000.i intend to have at least 8 calves and my cow can easily feed them with the milk.

    Hey the zidisha team.,i thank our heavnly Father for gift of life to all of us.Thanks to zidisha for entrusting me with your money am greatful and praying for each one of you because you touch peoples hearts with your actions surely i lack words that can express my feelings.
    After receiving the amount i added one calf and among the ones i had there is one which which was maturing and ready for market.The market is not very good because people arent having food as the season is not yet ready ,however i sold at a profit of kshs 2,000 on14 th june .This enabled me start repaying the loan,yesterday i deposited kshs1,000 though you have not updated my column i believe this will be done.If the current ones do well as they are doing i believe God will enable me to repay in good time.GOD BLESS ZIDISHA TEAM
