I was brought up from a family of 8 , me 5 born. Raising my school fees was a problem. I went through a lot from primary to university level. In other occasion I got bursary for my education. I completed school no job. I got married in an abusive home. Being beaten and thrown out occasionally. I made the LORD to be my friend finally. I an usher in my church the ministry of repentance. I am also born again. I also have a passion of helping the needy, widows and orphans. Most of the time I share what I have with them.
I sometime spent my time in my small farm. I was enable to apply for loan early cause I was busy planting food crop for my family, which I was doing manually.
I sell eggs and do a little farming.
In my home town, there is market for eggs, meat, milk and vegetables. Most of farm produce are transported from 300-400 kilometers for sell, this include eggs, broilers and vegetables.
I will be able to get ready market for mine. This will enable me to even pay school fees and improve production or re- investment.
The cost of keeping is US 1000. After 2 months I will be able to get a profit of 200US dol. There's ready market. I am also located next to the headquarters of my county, and a Kenya school if government.
I like keeping poultry because I can get everyday to keep my family and pay school.
My first born son wants to be a teacher. My second born son wants to be a doctor. He is doing well in school.
I wish I can improve my production so that I will be able to save money for his future education. Since its expensive to put him there.
I intend to buy chicken feeds for my layers. I have about 7 layers , one male chicken and a few chicks which arrived recently. I normally sale the eggs to a small grocery near me. The market for it is high. Other money I use for growing vegetables for sale.
