Am seraphine amukulon otwani daughter to engineer otwani of busia .I was born and grew up and live in Busia town. I schooled at st. Cecilia misihu girls high school .
After school I started poultry keeping. I was given 2 hens and 1 cock by my grandmother for a start. I took the bird to our kitchen where I reared them from their I used to feed them the remaining of food .i after a period of three month of rearing the birds I had 20 birds was able to sell the birds at kshs 350 each with I was able to raise 7000 .
From that I was able to get more 66 bird which are broilers at 75/= each. After a period of thee month I was able to get 400 bird which I sell them to royal hotel busia .from these I have been able to built a house to keep them since the population couldn’t feet in the kitchen at and also have found it easy to get my basic need with no stress and most of the time I help my father on cane plantation
I started the business with ksh.500 on treating the birds
Currently I have a stock worth 140,000 which is so impressive to me which has give the hopes of getting these loan to so as to increase my stock .
I started the business so as to create job opportunity after school and to be able support my family.
I do poultry keeping a part from that am clearing agent with the ramsford company.my poultry is base back at my home otimong sub-location pasama village.
I sell chicken and eggs. The demand is high the since fact that Busia is situated in Kenya Uganda border so most of my customers are those who want to cross the border especially those who clear the vehicles and these their people who works here in town.
My business is profitable because I have so many customers so the more I serve the more i earn especially those from schools . The challenge am facing is just lack of capital to expand my business the demand is high than I have. With these loan I will be able to meet my need to this business.
