Florence · Kisumu, Kenya

Jan 23, 2023

Kids in my neighborhood are now calling me 'Dada Kaimati'. loosely translated, that is 'The Croissant Lady'. I am mastering the craft and in my small ways, running with the enterprise. In a day, I make about $4 in sales and earn a profit of $ 0.8. I am still not factoring in my salary. That would reduce the profits I earn. I am thankfully not paying rent or electricity, so my overhead costs appear less for now. I believe the future will be bright.

The last project was a success and I used the funds to stock up on chicken feeds which helped to improve the egg production and also helped during the December period as we experienced a shortage of chicken feeds and the cold weather had adversely affected the egg production cycle. The funds were a great help. The new project will be utilised to build more structures for the chickens as I am planning to increase the number of chickens from my current number of 100 chickens to atleast 200 chickens so as to increase the profit yield while reducing the overall overhead costs.
