I am Felix Mutunga. I am married and we have 1 kid. I am living in Nakuru town, Rift Valley, Kenya. My occupation is a manager in the hospitality industry. I am also a businessman in agribusiness. I rear chickens and also like to do practices to conserve the environment. I started a business because I wanted to put my skill and experience into creating an environment which can accommodate others. This business has been a success not only to me but to many through learning practically, setting examples to my neighbors. I like traveling, reading business journals and helping in community charity work. Zidisha has been a helping hand through the observation from my friends who have been members.
The sources from which I am going to repay my loans are my business profits and savings that I do every week. I sell the chicken to various hotels and restaurants. My customers don't worry about the transport cost since I deliver personally. The business is profitable and I do face challenges such as the changing prices of the products. I do make a profit of KSh 20,000. I do sell 50 indigenous chicken @ 600, making a sell of 30,000 per month.
The expected loan will be 2500 dollars. To buy the medications for my chickens and for the veterinary services, I will need 230 dollars for a longer period. To repair the poultry house, I will need 200 dollars. To repair electricity in the poultry house, I will need 350 dollars. To pay the electrician, I will need 150 dollars. To buy materials for the poultry house, I will need 200 dollars. I will need: 250 dollars for labor, 190 dollars for daily transport costs and the other 930 dollars to buy the chick feed for a longer period.
This loan will be a great help as the previous loan has made my business grow. The support of Zidisha has also helped me to create employment in the local community; I have employed at least six workers. Thanks, Zidisha lenders, for your support and encouragement. Zidisha is the future for people who would like to succeed in life
