About Me

Introduce yourself to lenders.
Am Mararo Samuel,I was born in a family of seven where I am the fourth born. my parents were peasant farmers. they educated us with hardship.
It was until I was eighteen years old when my friend called me to Kisii town, he took me to his shop, he was making beads of different items like basket, table mat, key holders among others. he trained me how to make beads. when I was an expert, he employed me and he was paying me Ksh 6000 a month.
It was out of the small saving that I also decided to start a small business of making beads.
I come from a community that still regard its culture. Not so many people have gone to school.
I would like my children to be entrepreneurs as government jobs today are so limited.

My Business

I run a chicken project of traditional hens whereby I sell fertilized eggs to other farmers, eggs to hotels and households, two-weeks chicks and sometimes big chickens.
The project is growing rapidly and making me realize good profits. It also has an impact to other projects like farming since the droppings from the chickens are good fertilizer.

My next move will be to improve the structures, increase the laying egg hens for more production. This is due to the increasing demand especially two weeks chicks.

I thank Zidisha family for their support in changing lives positively of many people in my region and globally.

My chicken project is growing fast and I'm able to make real profits that are enabling me provide both basic and other needs to my family.

I look forward for greater experiences with Zidisha org. Thanks

Loan Proposal

firs I thank Zidisha for this great idea that has propelled young entrepreneurs in my country.

I will use this loan to purchase transparent roofing sheets that can allow more light to penetrate into the chicken houses. The light will improve the condition inside the houses, favourable for laying eggs.

Any remaining amount will assist me also to improve the troughs for their feeds.

    I basically used my concluded loan in improving the structures where the chicken lives. I bought the sheets that allow light to pass through and also added one more structure.

    I was able to realize more profits from selling eggs and hatched chicks (two weeks old) which improved my way of living and my family even though a disaster of sickness hit that reduced the number of hens. I was able to recover and increased them to a good number of 20 laying egg hens and 4 cocks. Currently, I have 20 chicks that are 1.5 weeks and can be seen on my profile photo.

    I intend to use my next loan to add more hens and cocks to reach a target of being able to sell more than 100 chicks in a month. That can really boost my income and enable me to either expand greatly or even venture into new and greater projects.

    About last holiday, December and new year, I was able to benefit a lot from my project by selling chicken to families in my neighborhood and also could not miss nor spend much at my house. It was really enjoyable holiday.

    My last loan was specifically meant to purchase transparent roofing sheets that allows light into chicken houses. I successfully fixed them and the environment was improved which in turn increased the rate of laying eggs.

    My next loan will help me to expand my project by adding more hens and construct more structures.

    I thank my previous lenders most sincerely and look forward for their support.
    Thanks Zidisha org
