Poultry farming

Pauline your business plan looks great. I just chipped in.

Do you have neem trees there? They are great for egg production. If you use the leaves as feed they increase egg production & fat content of the eggs. People also use neem oil from the seeds in baths to kill mites on the chickens. It's a great tree.

Good luck!

The kshs. 17000/= ( $166.02

purchase few things in the
shop like addition of crate of
sodas, snacks, airtime and
much more....
Lastly, I will once more request
my dear lenders for financial

will go towards purchase of the
following stock:

The above purchase is done on
large quantity in which I will
then repack them in small

to improve my profit by 90%.
I encourage my dear lenders to
fund this loan and in return I
will make my repayments on
time.

School fees

Dear Lenders,.
“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”

School fees

Dear Lenders,
“Who are you to judge the life I live?
I know I'm not perfect
-and I don't live to be-
but before you start pointing fingers...
make sure you hands are clean!”
