My name is Kennedy Oloo.
I grew up in Nairobi, Kibera slums. I am a teacher by profession.
I'm a cofounder of Daraja Community Organization in Ulafu Sub-location, Siaya County, Kenya.
I like getting involved in community projects e.g Youth Empowerment programs, environmental activities.
The project deals with selling farm produce , mostly cereals and vegetables to local community and institutions. Cereals and vegetables form basic food requirement within the community and are highly in demand.
I chose this project because of the availability of land which can be used for the farming project and also ready market for farm produce.
The costs involved purchase of certified seeds, farm yard manure from neighboring community, farm implements and labour costs. Revenue comes from sales of farm produce.
The main aim of this project is to be an income generating activity to support the Daraja CBO which supports Orphans and Vulnerable Children, and promote Youth and Women Empowerment programs in Siaya County, Kenya.
The funds will be used to introduce M-Pesa services in an already established shop located in a busy area with consistent customer traffic. The loan will go towards purchasing a business phone, acquiring an M-Pesa line, and securing sufficient float to ensure smooth service delivery. The shop currently serves customers with general goods, and adding mobile money services will transform it into a convenient one-stop center.
This project is expected to increase income, leading to better support for the family’s daily needs and future plans. The community will also benefit by gaining easier access to mobile money services, reducing the need to travel long distances. Additionally, the increased foot traffic may lead to more sales of shop items, supporting the business’s sustainability and growth.
