Raising poultry

Entrepreneur

About Me

My names are Doreen Sitali, a widow and a proud mother of 5 children but with only 2 surviving children. Am a breed winner in the family and that helps me to work hard even more so that i can feed and take my grand children to school , the children left by my 3 children who have passed.
I came to start my own business after loosing my husband who was a sole provider so that my children can go to school through the help of other women in the community who showed me on how i can run a bossiness. I enjoy gardening in my free time.

My Business

I own a shop at the market where i sell chitenge wrappers and farming tools. am also a poultry farmer. i keep chickens and pigs for business. i choose this kind of business because i know that it is a source of nutrition for people in my community, and also most women need wrapper to wear .I also own about 5 flats that i rent out to the people in my community.
The cost i incurs usually is buying feed for the chickens and pigs. i also want to renovate the poultry so that i put up a bigger on to accommodate about 1000 birds.
i use the profits to run the home and take my grandchildren to school and also reinvest in the business.
also i want to restock my shop

Loan Proposal

when am given this loan, i want to order about 500 chicks for the next stock. it will also help me in terms of purchasing start up feed for the same chicks.
The benefit it will create to myself is that i will no longer run out of chickens for sell as the process will now be continuous and that will mean that my customers will not have to look somewhere else as they will be continuous supply.

Income Source

Yes many businesses are facing challenges now, but which chickens the demand is high and i have already existing customers and even new ones are still coming. and in the near future am looking at how i can extend my chicken run so that i can increase on capacity on how many i can keep per cycle.
