About Me

am kimbarly ayuma in a family of seven i live in tudor.which is four kilometers from mombasa town.I am a a farmer/student, i rear chicken both layers and broilers(POULTRY FARMING) .I took my education in star of the sea secondary school and latter joinned Egerton university to study agribusiness management.I started rearing chicken and selling the eggs and meat to hotels and neighbours i have currently three hundred chicken the money i get from selling eggs and meat help me pay my school fees because my parents are not employed to comfortably raise my school fees.With my earnings i also support my young sister .I love playing basket ball ,during my free times i volunteer in nearby schools where i teach for free

My Business

I started the business of chicken rearing so as to supply eggs and meat to hotels in mombasa I have three hundred chicken, two hundred layers and one hundred broilers i collect 400 eggs daily and sell each at ten shillings, i also sell broilers 20 in a week each at 400 shillings from my income from the business I make 40000 a month after removing all the expences, this hrlp me to buy food for the chicken and also medicines and vaccines, I also use part of the money to pay for my university fees, and also support my younger sister. I am requesting a loan to enable me buy. more food supplements for the chicken and also add the number of chicken to 600,From the profits i make from the business i will be able to pay the loans in time in order to qualify for other high loans .Thank you

Loan Proposal

When I get this loan,it will help me improve on my chicken rearing in the following ways;,buying of feeds estimated at 30 dollars,buying of vaccines at a cost of 20 dollars, i would also increase the number of layers chicken by 100 at a cost of 70 dollars.am happy that through this small loan I will be able to see some of the followings the returns the loan will create; improved chicken quality that will help me get a bigger and better market since the broilers chicken are in good weight this will attract a big market . The returns will then help expand my farm by increasing the number of chicken both layers and broilers and also employ a few people. I should be supported because I can't afford single handedly to meet full financial requirements of the farm due to the increased costs of farm inputs like feeds,vaccines,i with the loan i would be able to comfortably support my younger sister who is in high school, i would also be able to help my parent to pay my school fees this because they cannot comfortably pay it this will be from the profits i get from the chicken business.and will also be able to comfortably repay back the loan in time.Thank you

    Dear lenders,
    I have resolved to leave this borrower for the next VM to follow up on. My efforts have been unfruitful for about a year now.
    I have already alerted Zidisha on the same. Systematic challenges only have delayed my replacement to take over my responsiblity here.
    Thank you.

      Dear Shehi,
      thanks for your tireless efforts to clear up the situation. I agree that you should not spend more time on this.

      I guess this loan is a write off, and if something horrible happened to Kimbarly's business to collapse, I have to problems to forgive the loan. After all, sharing a bit of the risks of daily life is what is Zidisha is about and not about making profit. Still I would feel better if we have heard from Kimberley what has happened.

    I phoned Kimbarly today at 6.45pm . Her number still does not work. I also phoned all her listed contact numbers. Only 2 of the total 7 contact numbers are working.
    Interestingly, now her inviter also does not pick my calls. I am worried about Kimbarly's performance on this loan.
    In addition, she is not explaining her situation to her lenders.
    All lenders see is this photo of happy chicken.

    Thanks Samuel for your ceaseless attempts to contact Kimbarly.
    If there really was a disaster at her farm then I am quite ok to take my little share of the risk and write off this loan - but I really would like to know what happened.

      Hi Camilberlin,
      Sorry for seeing your post late. As a VM I do not get email alerts for posts on my mentees' profiles. I have to visit their profiles manually to see them. You may post on my profile so I provide you realtime updates.
      I'm trying my best to better the lending experience on Zidisha. Sadly my efforts are of little benefit to Kimbarly's case.
      Maybe I should consider finding Kimbarly physically, 20 km away, where she indicated as her home.

    I phoned Kimbarly today at 2.50pm . Her number is still not working & so is that of her CL. His inviter, Collins, also did not pick my calls.

    I have to try reach them some other time.

    Hi Kimbarly,
    It sounds like you've run into some difficulties with your business. I know that I've often had to go to plan B or plan C when my original plans haven't worked out. Don't give up - remember that you make your own future, and see what you can rescue from your business to support yourself and your responsibilities. All the best!

      I phoned Kimbarly today at 1.31pm . Her number is still not working. Her inviter Collins says he has not managed to get in touch with her. Collins only managed to reach her mum. Her inviter promised to get back to me once he has made any contact.

      I also asked why Kimbarly had to change her profile to that of 'chicken' but Collins could not provide a reasonable explanation.

    I phoned Kimbarly today 3.31 pm . Her contact is not working & so is that of her CL. I phoned her inviter, Collins, who confirmed they have not been in touch. Collins says Kimbarly told him that her business collapsed.

    Thank you for your patience.

    Hi Kimbarly,
    It is very hard to study and work at the same time, I admire you for your efforts in doing both things. I hope your loan will be completed.
    I really wish you the best.

      Hi Ayuma,

      Kindly request your inviter to promote your loan either by recommending you here or on the forum.

      It's discouraging to partial fund a loan a second time.

      I would recommend you here about I am unaware of you as a responsible person or commited entreprenuer.

      Best, Shehi.
