My name is Juliana Ingi Ako. I was born in Manyara region in a family of 16 children and I was the 13th child. I studied in a primary school in our village, and managed to continue until reaching the degree level which is a degree in agriculture in general. In my spare time after school, on weekends and holidays, I learned to grow and sell grain crops, vegetables and fruits in a small home farm.

After completing my degree, I continued with my business.

I managed to marry a good husband and moved to Morogoro region where my husband lived. We are blessed

have one son. In order to continue my business, I looked for a nursery farm and developed the business of growing and selling hot peppers in the Morogoro district of the city.

I own this business now with the name of Jabbok Agric Enterprises which we cultivate in a small area and cannot produce green peppers to meet the needs of our buyers because the buyers are more than the amount of fruit we harvest.

This business has helped my family to get basic needs like food, money to buy clothes and pay house rent.

It has also helped the community by getting the best green pepper to complete a full meal and many community members have come to learn how to cultivate pepper so that they can start farming and earn income for their families.

Your loan will help me buy a water tank to increase water reserves that will help us increase the production area in the farm and finally meet the needs of our market.

Thanks to the loan we can get a lot of water and produce quality fruits that the buyers will be happy to continue doing business with us.
