    Hello, my name is Dan Cembrola, one of Zidisha’s Kenya Client Relationship Managers. I am currently visiting Zidisha borrowers in Nakuru and its outskirts.

    Stephen Watima, is an enterprising young man and proprietor of the store Sigma Dawa Systems in the town of Bahati. Stephen sells fertilizer, animal feeds, herbicides and many other farming necessities. He is a trained veterinarian, having spent three years training in livestock breeding and artificial insemination. Additionally, Stephen operates a three acre farm where he cultivates maize for six months of the year and then rotates in tomatoes and cabbage which each take three months to grow and harvest.

    The town of Bahati, like many towns in this region of Kenya, depends on livestock and subsistent farming. Stephen has a great deal of knowledge in both of these fields, having studied agriculture and biology in addition to his veterinary training. While talking to Stephen, we took frequent pauses for Stephen to advise various customers on the correct seed or herbicide to buy at this time of the year. In a community dependent on agriculture, Stephen plays a vital role in ensuring that each of his customers, each member of his community, redeems a productive harvest each season.

    With his first Zidisha loan, Stephen aims to expand the inventory in his shop. The climate in Bahati allows for crops to be grown year round. This fact is not always utilized in Bahati and Stephen plans to use his knowledge of agriculture and increased inventory to enhance the agricultural output of Bahati.
