About Me

I am 37 years old. Married to one wife with 1 girl and 2 boys.Last year i bought a power saw to help the locals in my area local trees .I do not charge them expensively because most of them live below the poverty line I do live in Kandutura farm plot no. 513 about 500 mts from Kandutura dispensary and 300 mts from Kandutura cattle dip. Along side Kibogo's ave.

My Business

I started the business 0f bee keeping in 2007 to supplement my meagre income i was getting in farming .nowadays iam able to sell 15 kg of honey daily. each kg of honey goes for sh 300.i have 15 hives. i provide my beees with water which comes from a pond that i have personally dug. i have also planted many manmade trees to provide the bees with nector and shade.during the dry season i provide the bees with supplementally food so that they can continue producing honey optimally.My honey is one of the best and despite the locals buying it i sell it to the traders at Nakuru

Loan Proposal

Thanks for the Zidisha team for your support as far as the loan is concern. I managed to complete my loan on time and i am grateful to all Lenders. This loan I would like to buy a motor- bike in order to have transportation for the honey to my customers who cannot reach my selling place. In this I will add more customers than before and i will be in a position of repaying my loan on time. I do promise that I will pay on time, so please fund me. God bless you as you fund me.

    Hello Mr. Karuri, thank-you for your continued efforts. You may find it helpful to change your payment calendar, as you are showing as late now, and I don't think this is what you want.

    Dear Lenders,

    Due to a data entry error, a payment from Dickson on November 21st was entered multiple times erroneously. Once this error is fixed in our system, the funds in your lender accounts will decrease accordingly. We apologize for this error and any inconvenience it causes you!

    Thank you,
    Bayle, Country Liaison Manager

    Yeah! Tell us, Dickson. I hope the motorbike is a helper; but maybe You also find joy riding it, like many men do. It would be perfect if You do.

    Dear Dickson, how is the the honey business going? I was wondering whether you can also market other products from the bees, like wax and royal jelly?

    Thank you also for your repayments. May God continue to bless you.

    Kind regards,

    Tom

      precisely, value addition to his honey business would earn him more profit, i guess.

    Hi Sirko: In case Dickson doesn't have time to explain to you, his hives are Kenyan Top Bar Hives. You can learn more about top bar hives, and bee-keeping in Africa generally, by looking at www.beesabroad.org.uk Good luck with your bees! Best, Hugh

    Greetings Mr. Karuri,

    I hope you are having a sunny honey day full of sweetness. I miss the honey bees. They still don't know why they are all dying. Sad. But I hope your business continues to be a great success.

    Best wishes, Ann (namaste250)

      Hey Dickson,

      You are welcome for the loan. I wish you well. I love bees. When is the honey harvest season where you live? How many liters of honey will you be able to harvest?

      Regards,
