I have a passion in agriculture with a bias in poultry since childhood. That is what has lead me to start a poultry farm.

My Business

I currently have a demand that I can not even effectively meet since my current supply per week now 600 eggs but this will change once the I can increasing my stock .

Hello,

I only recently discovered your loan profile. There are so many loans fundraising at the moment. Some people have had to repost their loan many times before they raised their full amount. I hope you will not be discouraged.
You could try posting some more photos of your farm. I like the profile photo you have, but maybe you might want to try using a profile photo of you in your farm that is really eye catching.
If the photo stands out in the list of loans maybe more lenders will open to read more about your business,

Hello Kimathi,

I was sad to hear your loan application had expired for the second time. This was probably due to the fact that your last loan application was posted just before the maximum interest was raised from 5% to 15%, which might have attracted lenders to other loans with a higher interest for them.

Hopefully you won't be discouraged by this and will try to get your loan funded again, since you were a very reliable borrower the first time around!

Hopefully you'll be able to get another loan funded, so that you can pursue the dreams you have for Theosoft Poultry.

Wishing you all the best,

Hedwich
