My childhood life was difficult ,my parents divorced when I was young and I was raised single handily with my late mother. Although we could spend some days with no food mum always struggled to make me and my young sister g to school. I went to ukwala primary passed well and proceeded to Ngiya girls secondary school,I passed well and joined maseno university where I was forced to defer at my second year due to fees problems.
After my deferment from college I almost gave up in life for I knew I could not afford to make the required money,I joined Yolee youth group and we received training on poultry production.We could also make contributions and get loans, I took a loan of $100 and bought 5 mature hens and a cock,i did not have a poulty house and so I always spend my nights with the birds in my house.After a few days the all started laying eggs and then brooding. I was able to get my first set of 60 chicks from 5 birds , 10 died and 50 successfully grew. I am now in my final year at the university ,courtesy of poultry farming.
I play basket ball during my free time, I also love reading novels and watching movies.
I keep indigenous poultry in my farm and sell fertilized eggs and live poultry for meat. I mainly sell the cocks to avoid inbreeding and buy cocks for breeding.
The desire by many families for white meat explains why the demand for poultry is high.
I choose these business because it is easy to manage and the market for poultry and eggs is readily available .
my monthly costs average are $200 for feeds and labor and my monthly revenues on average are $ $450 per month.
I use 50% of my income to cater for my university fees and the rest for reinvestment and paying fees for my sister.
I am very thankful to you all lenders.I am requesting for another loan to help me buy a generator that I would use during blackouts,these will helped reduce losses because eggs often go bad when there is a blackout lasting more than 8 hours,I have suffered losses but i think the generator would be the solution. I would top up $300 loan with $100 to get the generator. Thank you in advance
