About Me
Im Pheobe Amukune a young lovely and energetic lady . i was brought up in a family of 5 children's, 4 girls and 1 boy.. I went to primary school up to standard 8 that's when i did my kenya certificate of primary education. i did fairly well and i was able to joint Nakuru secondary school and i did my kenya secondary school certificate.. due to high college fees i didn't make it it to joint as my family as to depend on our little portion of land to feed and educate the 5 of us. i joint public polytechnic where i learn about Information Technology (IT) and computer packages. I always dreamt of being my own boss someday and I opted to hasten the process. What worried me most was whether I would still earn as much money as those people employed. But through patience and persistence i have managed to go far in life and i'm still looking ahead for a brighter future
My Business
I have ventured into poultry keeping. I started making ice-cream from my father's house and selling it to school-going children. I got a little cash and added it to what I was earning.
After a few months, i managed to raise $200 and was ready for take off. I had no formal training in poultry keeping, but had the urge to make money and that is what has seen me thrive. I had done little research and realised that our locals from the village i reside import poultry products such as eggs from neighbouring counties. I knew that there was money in this venture.
I started with 50 day-old layer chicks costing $1 each and converted one of the room in our house the birds. After five weeks, the broilers were ready for the market while layers took between four to five months to start laying eggs. Soon i moved the chicken from the room in my father's house to a structure that could accommodate 100 chicks. I used local materials, wire mesh and iron sheets. I have a total of 50 chicks—25 broilers and 25 layers.
I get at least $100 every month broilers which costs $4 each.
I collect close to 3 crates of eggs every day with a crate selling at $3, With these profits i use to buy vaccination for the birds and cater for my needs
Loan Proposal
With the loan i will use to buy vaccination (fowl typhoid) and deworming.
The remaining balance
will be used to add drinking and feeding equipment for the birds. All this will cost $200.
With these i will be able to provide the required nutrients to the birds and protect the against diseases hence increased production of eggs for the egg laying chickens and increase in weight for the meat chicken. Thanks lenders and zidisha for your continued support
