About Me

I was born in suneka town Kenya.i went through my p[primary and high school level within suneka town.I never got a chance of joining college due to not being able to raise school fees.i am a hard working lady and i try to conquer every obstacle that comes between me and success.after high school and realizing I would not be able to join high school i decided to start farming in the family land.the little money i borrowed from my parents i bought kale and cabbage seeds which i planted and harvested to sell at a profit and that's how i started this business.from the place i come from people make beutiful curving s from soap stone.as per now I have four children that I love so much and carter for.i love reading,traveling and innovation.

My Business

i basically farm vegetables that is kale ,spinach,cabbage,onions and tomatoes.vegetables are consumed as food in my area everyday,basically no meal misses them.this provided high demand for them and i never miss the market to sell them.I chose this kind of business because i knew with this i already have ready customers.i spend about KES 6000($67) in seeds fertilizer and casual labour and transport.i make approximately KES 10000 ($112) a month from sale of this vegetables.I use the profit to carter for the bills of my family and school fees.

Loan Proposal

If my loan is funded i will add it to my savings and hire more land to expand my vegetable farming business. The first one I hired has given me tremendous profits and would love to expand more so I can make more profits for an improved work. I will also hire a casual laborer to help me .This will increase the profit margin by at least twice. Since the family land is small am not able to produce enough to carter for my customers. Please fund my loan lenders. Thank you.
