About Me

My name is Hamilton Charo. I was born in Kaloleni, Kilifi County. I am the third born in a family of six, (all boys). I am a Christian, and also a youth leader in our church.
I went to Kizurini primary school for my primary education and Ribe Boys High School for my secondary education before joining Kenyatta University where I did a Bachelor's of Science degree in Agribusiness Management. I am currently working at the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) Mtwapa, Kilifi County.

My Business

My business name is Charo Seedlings Nursery.
It deals with propagation of fruit tree seedlings and forest trees. It involves selling of the following fruit trees: mango, orange, lemon, lime, tangerine, guava, passion, and cashew seedlings. It also deals with forest trees such as Aborea, Neem, Ashok, Casuarina trees. In my Nursery business I am facing the challenge of lack of irrigation during the dry season. If I get a loan of $100 I would be really grateful because I will buy a water tank of capacity 2000 litres. This will solve the problem of lack of irrigation during the dry season. I will use the remaining amount of money to buy knapsack sprayer and some pesticides to spray the seedlings against pest attack.

Project Proposal

With these funds I am going to buy new seedlings bags.
I will add on the foliar fertilizers, insecticides and fungicides.
This is help me expand my business.

    This money I plan to buy seedlings bags. This will enable me to expand my seedlings business. I will add more varieties of trees which I did not have and which customers are frequently asking for.

    Thank you so much Zidisha for the funds. I was really stuck in my project due to lack of enough polythene bags for planting in nursery. With this money I am going to buy polythene bags. Once again thank you for making my project possible.
