My name is Benard Chepkwony. I was born in the Year 1976 at Chebilat villageas the first born son in a family of six. I grew up in Rift valley Kenya,I did my primary and high school education in Kericho County, and later joined Moi University in Eldoret for a BSc in Human Resource Management.

Since I was the bread winner in my family,after I competed my education I came out trying to make ends meet, and also to support my siblings despite the difficult challenges i cameacross, life took a turn that became so hard, and afterawhile I was able run my business smoothly. I indulged in small scale selling of vegetables farming and would sell them to the kiosk mama mbogas. One day after I checked my account I found that I had saved more more money which was enough for me to start a business.

This year for the cereals shop i paid 75 USD to our local county authority for business licence and a monthly rent of 65 USD. I also pay 85 USD per month towards the wages of my employees.

I do re-invest my profits in my business, support to my parents and my siblings.

I am also into mentoring and training youths for better life,skills and entrepreneurship also support in different activities. I am a Christian,discipline and people oriented person. Regards.

After I raised my capital from the small business I was doing as supplying of vegetables, I started a better business of selling cereals. I do sell cereals in Sotik town where I rented my house there after moving from village. So for now I still need some capital to boost my business and to open my shop so that I can add more goods. Thank you.

I will use the funds to buy fertilizers and seeds.I will buy D.A.P fertilizers and top dressing.I will also buy coriander, cabbages, sukuma wiki and potatoes seeds.The funds will assist me to get those farm inputs.Thank for giving me your great support.Regards
