my names are daniel oongo, am 34 years old. i was born to a family of 6, four boys and two girls, my parents passed away when were very young, being the eldest among my siblings i was left with the responsibility to take care of my siblings, things turned for the worst when our relatives took everything that was left for us and we became homeless, we had no other option but to move to my mother's parents place, life wasn't easy there as we were seen as outsiders and a burden, since there was no option we had to live with the conditions, going to school there wasn't an option for for so i had to work in other people's farms so that i can provide for my siblings, due to the conditions i grew in it toughened and gave me the motivation i required to work hard because i needed better for us.
i saw my siblings through and now they have a better life i can, i later enrolled myself in school and completed my secondary education two years ago,
during my free time i like reading, i still have the aspiration of going further with my education that being the reason i work extra hard to make my dreams true
i have a tomato farm, its been a challenging business but its returns makes every moment i have spent on it worth it, i have done this as longs as i can remember and i love it.
i sell my tomatoes in crates and each create goes for kes 1000 i sell at least 5 crates every week, this gives me an income of kes 20000 a month. i spend kes 5000 to take care of my household bills, kes 5000 goes to pesticide and farm management, kes 5000 goes to my rent and i make savings of kes 5000 every month for emergencies and improvements of my farm when needed
my pump got had a major issues and its not fixable, in order to get healthy tomatoes i am required to spray pesticides and this my not be possible with the current situation of my pump.
i would like to purchase a new pump to avert the crisis, a new pump will cost me $305 am able to raise $ 105 from my savings and am here to request for a loan of $ 200 to help me purchase the pump.
i give my word that i will pay the loan on time and you will not regret funding me.
