I was born in 1992. My dad died so my got married to my step dad. Despite him being educated,when I was young he tortured me and with the support of my real mum I almost died.However I was saved by neighbours it was march 2004. Taken to court and later in August I was admitted in a children's home where my passion for farming started growing. My mother died in 2008 and I finished high school well in 2011. My life was like hell and I thank God and everyone that am alive.
I provide training to new farmers and especially youths,I sell eggs. Local eggs ate always in demand and people always need to be trained so that they can have ability to run their own farms well and get a profit out of it.
Currently we are facing maize shortage in the country this has made animal feeds to go up. Thus the cost of production is high now the majority of my profit comes from training. Not eggs. And the profits that I get I use it to re-invest in the project to make sure that I can increase my income.
Its due to the ongoing heavy rainfall It has been tricky to raise chicks and also i need to start expansion. So this loan am going to buy 3tonnes of query dust, 4 tones of sand, 5bags of Cement and make building blocks myself and the remaining I will pay a masonry to start constructing the house that will be a brooder and host my egg incubator and other farm tools and equipments.
