About Me

I am 21 years of age, a student, a teacher proffesionally and an efficient businessman. I did my O level in the year 2009, which i qualified to join University of Kabianga to pursue a degree in bachelor of Education Science. Am a third year student and currently off-session till march, 2014. I implemented my agricultural knowledge to begin as a small scale farmer, this made me request a piece of land from my beloved parents to do my farming. Idearly i kicked off with a small number of birds. I rear hens(birds) at my home. I am single, a kenyan citizen by birth and from a middle family economically. I have four siblings and i help my parents to cater for our and their needs. I am a christian and a believer. I currently work as a techer at Murungaru Secondary School.

My Business

I have a Poultry business which i started late last year. I currently own a total of about eighty Chicken of which twenty of them are layers. The twenty layers lay approximately twenty eggs a day. This earns me a daily profit of ten shillings per egg, which amounts to two hundred kenyan shillings per day. Its a net monthly salary of about five thousands kenyan shillings. I normally invest this amount to the business in order to grow it. This amount is usually not enough to cater and help me overcome all the risks and uncertainities, at times, there are several risks that may occure, like disease outbreaks which are not curable like newcastle disease. This brings a great loss to the business and in order to overcome, i am forced to vaccinate my birds and add more birds to try and avoid this risks. other shortcomings are storage and transportations. I do short distances supply but via a very poor transport system, i would like to purchase materials like trays which will enable proper storage and transportation. I supply to two institutions and one market shop which altogether consumes more than my supply. If my poultry farming can be increased, i'll be able to supply enough to my customers and inquire for more orders.

Loan Proposal

The loan i thereby request for will be used in purchasing enough feed troughs and water troughs. I also intend to buy more trays to ease my transportation.

1. 3 feed trughs each @ kshs. 500
2. 2 water troughs each @ kshs.720
The remaining kshs. 260 will add it to my savings and purchase as many eggs trays as possible.

Having purchased all this will help me overcome some of the challenges.
