5. 25 X 20 mls buparvaquone 50 mg @ 800 = kshs 20000

These purchases made a significant change in business return ie increased my margin in terms of profit and the stock.

The business earnings increased due to extra stock that i had purchased by kshs. 3000 per day. The increased earnings have helped me to increase my stock which in the near future will my business margin.
This increased earnings helped me pay the school fees for my children who are in high school.

Kisi county

Wycliffe, you mentioned wanting to start making juice... I thought I would make a suggestion that may be more helpful?

Instead of straight juice, putting oats with your fruits/vegetables in a blender will not only make it delicious & nutritious, but it will also be very filling for anyone who may be hungry... Oats should also be rather inexpensive :-) So could be a nice thing to offer.

Oats & banana go especially well together (spinach with it too for added nutrition if you wish).

Hope this is helpful :-)

Wishing you all the best with your endeavors :-)
Warm regards, Emma.
