About Me

I am Korir Wesley, a graduate in Bachelor of science in information technology. I have a passion in farming, I grew up in a farm and I spent most of my childhood working in our farm.

My Business

I ventured into tea seedling farming, this is after I did a research and found out that most farmers are willing and ready to plant tea but lacking the seedlings to plant. I saw a ready market and this led me into building a nursery.

Project Proposal

Long rains are expected from next month which marks the start of tea planting season. With the loan I will use to purchase two wheelbarrows which will be used to transport seedlings from the nursery to the farm for planting

Long rains started this week, and farmers are preparing their farms for planting. I expect a huge demand for my seedlings soon

The expected rains are yet to start which pushed the planting season forward by a few weeks

With loan I will acquire two wheelbarrows, which will provide the needed assistance to transport seedlings from the necessary to the farm for planting. Your help is highly appreciated.

My previous loan was used to purchase a water container which was essential for storing water used for irrigating tea seedlings during the drought season. i wish to acquire a bigger tank for the same purpose, since rainfalls are no longer predictable as they used to be.
