Without hesitation, I would like to express my gratitude to all funders of my previous project which was very successful. 300 free range chickens where purchased and sold successfully upon being ready, the proceeds were then used to build a shop which is currently on roof level pending to buy roofing requirements i.e roofing sheets, timber, doors, door frames, windows, window frames and inside fittings. Being on a farm, we intend to use this shop to sale our farm produce.

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.
