Water tank for irrigation

Entrepreneur

About Me

My name is Tom Odhiambo Gard from Kenya. I have for the last two years engaged myself in farming after i lost my job due to retrenchment.

I mainly farm fast-growing produce including tomatoes, onions and cabbage of which i have a ready market both at the local market and supplying the same to local schools on contract.

My intention of joining Zidisha community is to enable me secure affordable loan(s) that i can use to expand my farming. Unlike now, i wish to engage in farming as a full-time business.

My Business

I started farming purely for subsistence. I however realized that i could make good money out of it after brokers started coming to my farm to buy farm produce.

It is at that point when i decided that i had to engage in farming as a business, of which i am already realizing positive results. I wish to be in a position where i do not rely on rainfall, which has become erratic. I intend to buy one or two water tanks that i will use to irrigate my farm. This will ensure constant supply of farm produce to my customers.

Loan Proposal

I plan to use all the loan amount to buy a water tank that i will be storing enough water to irrigate my farm. This will make it possible for me to supply my customers with farm produce including tomatoes, onions and cabbages regardless of the season.
