I am the first born in the family of five.In our village(Nyambula)learning wasn't a common practice. Despite that my hard working mother was very keen to make us attend our school. I excelled well in the national examination despite the challenges that were soo many in the village.
After one year I was selected to join high school.Life was very difficult here since the school fees and upkeep money was high for my unemployed mother.After all these i realized that when icome up with idea of poultry farming i will make it.On my very fast holiday I bought two hens with one cork.I left them for my mother who was to ensure they are well taken care of.
I raised my schoolfees through selling of the chicken together with the profit that mum had saved.
