About Me

I was born in Bondo Town Nyabanda B village. I was orphaned at an early ages of about 10 years when my both parent died. Since then I used to stay with different kind of people that made me humble and strong enough to socialize with different kind of people I meet. I went to school at Barkawaga Primary School in Bondo and was transferred to Okiro Primary school in Rarieda where I did my KCPE. I joined St.Philip's Wera Secondary school and did my KCSE in 2008.
From there I went for a tertiary level and did computer packages and I used to work in a cyber cafe. I used to have a friend investing through farming and advised me to also start farming since it doesn't require a lot of skills. I agreed with him and I have now started the process. My land is fertile and community people are very proud of developments and they like farm products. Am not married yet and my hobby fishing and playing football.

My Business

My project objectives is to supply all varieties of vegetables products in local markets. Mainly kales, spinach and tomatoes.I want to include onions since this product can be kept for longer days when there is no ready market. These products are on high demand since every household include them in every meal. I found it more marketable mostly because many people will tend to buy the products directly from the farm. It also doesn't require a lot of skill to manage. I am planning to expand my business and get more profit that will actually help me pay my college fee. I loved farming even from the beginning, when am given this opportunity, I will apply all my strength and ability to get the right quantity and quality products for the locals. I also intend to by generator so that I can maintain my systematic production in line to avoid shortage within the community. I now want to expand my farm by planting onions

Loan Proposal

farming involves a lot of activities, Since I want to produce high quality products, I want to buy fertilizers, top dressers and I will use part of the loan to till the remaining part of my farm. Am going to repair the fence so that I a void intrusion by outsiders and animals that might destroy the farm products.
I luck some equipments like knapsack sprayer (10 litters), watering can, these will help me a lot to spray my products efficiently. I also need to budget for pesticides and other antibiotics to improve my farm product.
I will need to higher some people to help me and I will have to pay for labour. Am planning to visit other farms for consultation and see how advance I can really maintain and treat the farm and how to manage some of the crop diseases from the soil. It will require some a mount for transport, lunch and for stationeries for keeping records. If given the amount and opportunity I will have a big step and am very sure people will appreciate the produce.
My objectives is to supply a lot of varieties of vegetables that can possibly yield in the farm.
