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 use the loan to boost my MPesa float and add more stock to the shop. This will help me serve customers efficiently, increase income, support my family's needs, and create a positive impact in my community.
