I'm Silas Maina from ilala village, western part of Kenya. I'm the last born in a family of six children. I cleared my Secondary education in 2019 and and decided to venture into farming activities. Farming is the main source that is sustaining my life. I love growing crops and keeping chicken.
My main source of income is from keeping of chicken and growing of vegetables for local consumption in my area. Since joining Zidisha I earn 40 USD per week from my business. The profit I pocket per week is 17.5 USD per week, this profit helps me in expanding my business and supporting my life together with my family.
I will purchase cereals worth 10 usd, one hen worth 4 usd, the remaining 6 usd will go for labour on the farm. After one week my income will increase by 4 usd.
I do manual work and I'm paid wages per day,I make bricks for my neighbours, work in plantations before coming to my own project. Per day I earn 3.5 usd but sometimes the amount varies depending with the kind of job and its availability. When my project bring low income I can subsidize the repayment from my other source of income.
