Greetings. First thank you very much for being on my side in backing my business. Your generosity and kindness is unparalleled. Last funding, I was able to purchase some of the equipment that I needed for my business. For instance the fridge I purchased that time to cool beverages doubled sales for the same. This is because where I am, it gets really hot and customers want cold beverages from the shop. This doubling of sales has enabled me to now expand my ventures to now run this clothes and bags shop. This is how your generosity is transforming things here in Kenya. Each of these shops, I do employ two people. This is how your generosity is creating employment here on the ground.

I have always wanted to introduce Macadamia and Hass avocado farming in my rural area of Makueni which is actually known for orange, mangoes, and lemons.I believe an introduction of these farm products in Makueni (especially the HASS AVOCADO) will be able to be beneficial to rural small and large-scale farmers who depend too much on Citrus fruit farming which does not have export potential. The Hass avocado products' largest buyers are the Chinese and the current tonnage from Kenya cannot satisfy the market. So there is potential for diversification and engagement.I will use the funds to study and engage with the county government of the Makueni Ministry of Agriculture and introduce HASS AVACADO seedlings.

The previous loan cushioned and boosted my business during the tough economy we faced due Corona pandemic which led most of the businesses to close down. The loan enabled me to increase more stock which in turn contributed to more sales. This sustained well the business and all the employees on their wages/salaries; No retrenchment experienced. Thanks to Zidisha Community for the funds.
