My name is Hamilton Charo. I was born in Kaloleni, Kilifi County. I am the third born in a family of six, (all boys). I am a Christian, and also a youth leader in our church.
I went to Kizurini primary school for my primary education and Ribe Boys High School for my secondary education before joining Kenyatta University where I did a Bachelor's of Science degree in Agribusiness Management. I am currently working at the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) Mtwapa, Kilifi County.
My business name is Charo Seedlings Nursery.
It deals with propagation of fruit tree seedlings and forest trees. It involves selling of the following fruit trees: mango, orange, lemon, lime, tangerine, guava, passion, and cashew seedlings. It also deals with forest trees such as Aborea, Neem, Ashok, Casuarina trees. In my Nursery business I am facing the challenge of lack of irrigation during the dry season. If I get a loan of $100 I would be really grateful because I will buy a water tank of capacity 2000 litres. This will solve the problem of lack of irrigation during the dry season. I will use the remaining amount of money to buy knapsack sprayer and some pesticides to spray the seedlings against pest attack.
If I receive the funds I will be able to complete my shade net house construction project.
First and foremost, I will buy the agricultural net. I need 700 square meters of the agricultural net for the whole house.
Secondly, I will also require chain link of the same size, 700 square meters.
I will also need construction nails of 3-4 inch size.
Lastly the funds will also cater for labor costs.
