About Me

My education began way back in Rehema Primary school where i started local primary and successfully completed my primary education. I was then Admitted at Nyamarambe High school in Kisi county. After completing secondary eucation, it took me sometime at home before i could join college because of financial problems. During that long period, my boyfriend had gotten some join in Kabsabet Town in Eldoret county and influenced me to go with him to Kapsabet.
I chose to follow him because i trusted that he could take good care of me. He helped me to start up a small business where i planted Kales and then take them to the market for sale. We had a big piece of land and therefore i was in a position to carry out the farming.
I started this business because i love agriculture right from high school and this encouraged me to start the farming. My passion also for work also forced me to engage in this exercise. I hated being idle and since i had an option of engaging into farming i quickly thought of doing that.
The most unique thing about the land that we live in is the fact that the soil is richly supplied with nutrients and thus plants and crops can really do well in this environment.

My Business

I am a farmer in kabsabet, Nandi county. I engage in the sale kales. I am a farmer who specializes in selling one kind of crop at a time and at the moment i sell kales. This goods are very useful because they are sources of Vitamis and therefore and also food that sustain our living. It is also on demand because currently many people are engaging in the planting of Cabbages in our area and thus being among the few people from around planting Kales, i win more customers. This fact make the products demand to be high.
i decided to do this farming because of the love that i had for agriculture right from high school, availability of good soil that supports this kind of farming and also availability of land to do the farming. Those factors largely encouraged me to do the farming.

Loan Proposal

Given 15 Us dollars, i will use the money to buy top dressing fertilizer. This will cost 20 Us dollars and therefore with 15 us dollars, i can make an addition of 5 more Us dollars and make the purchase.
I will benefit from this because i will increase the quality of my kales and thus producing high yields. This will make me win more customers in the market and therefore increase m y income.
I expect to make an increase in my income by also 300 Us dollars per day of good sale.
