About Me

I am Kenyan male youth age 25 from Nyeri county married with 2 kids,from a family of 7,mother, father two brothers and two sisters.Am a self driven person with high personality,educated to the university level specialized in online research writing.My achievements depends on my commitment,dedication and honesty.I believe on the principal of everything is possible through meaningful involvement and settings smart objectives and follow them one by one.I get involve in positive linkages for a common goal and united for a team spirit. I live in Nairobi but the farm I put up my project is the family home, where my parents live. I have always been dreaming of being a great professional farmer and recently took an initiative in farming. I have been involved with quails farming and it was of great success before I was keeping broiler chickens. I had 400 quails of which I was selling eggs and also incubating as I have an incubator that I bought from my earning from the writing. The money I earned from the quail farming I re-invested in chicken kruilor type from Uganda. Now wanted to add my income by planting cabbages and spinach in large scale and I believe it will be another great success. The home farm is on an 1/2 an acre and wanted to do commercial farming by planting 20,000 plants. On the farm we have a non seasonal river that I will use to water the crops. Some years before I had planted 1000 cabbages luckily it was a season when the demand was high but low supply. I was able to sell each cabbage at 40 bob and was able to earn 40,000 but due to an avoidable circumstances I went back to Uganda and I had to hold on the project. Now with the past and recent success I have decided to take the farming to another level. Because the market is ready with zidisha loan i believe i will move the mountains within months.so help me to live this dream.by supporting me with your loan. Thank you zidisha.
