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.

I will the funds to expand my farming activities and purchase additional stock for my shop. This will allow me to increase production and sales, serve my customers better, and ensure reliable access to essential goods.

The project will strengthen my business, improve my income, and help me provide better support for my family's needs. It will also benefit my community by creating opportunities for others, providing steady access to farm produce and goods, promoting local economic growth.
