About Me

I am Millicent Wesonga , I am the second born in a family of six children. I went to Lurambi Primary school and Bisho Okoth secondary school. I completed my studies in 2013 ,but did not have money to advance my education.
I joined Ushirika Youth group where I learnt a lot about vegetable farming from other established members and my peers. I did not have capital to start farming and so I took a loan from the group of $50 that I used to clear and till our family land which I use as my farm. I plant kale's ,capsicum and cabbages and sell them to earn a leaving and save for my college fees.
I am dancer and during my free time I join my friends to dance for the church .

My Business

I grow vegetables in my 1 acre farm and sell the vegetables to schools ,and individuals. the business is good since the vegetables demand is high,because of dence population and scarcity of the green fresh vegetables.
I choose farming business because it required less start up capital and has high profits margins .
in a month I spend $80 for buying seeds,labour, and transport. My monthly revenues are $200 per month. I spend my profits through saving for business expansion and saving for fees and helping my family.

Loan Proposal

Hello lenders.
I am a small scale farmer and I grow tomatoes and capsicum. I usually measure my produce in tins and have realized I make huge losses through lost kilograms, I am pleased to ask for a loan to buy a weighing scale that I would use to way my products before sell. A good weigh scale will cost $100 and I would use the money from the loan to purchase one .Thank you dear lenders in advance.
