My family lives in Dakar, me I live with my big brother Moussa Seck and my little sister Anta Seck. My job is breeding birds such as budgies, cockatiels, chickens for meat, and also sea turtles. Since I was small I have been devoted to raising animals. I started this business to realize my future, what I buy with my profits is what I increase my production with. I am an ambitious youth who wishes to suceed with breeding birds and also wishes to farm.
With 25 000 CFA ($50) I would like to sell chickens. I think that in this country in crisis only food really works. Customers will prefer my business (chicken) because my product isn’t expensive. The risks are poultry diseases. With my loan I will buy 15 chicks for 7500 CFA (500 CFA per chick) and the chicken feed for 15 000 CFA. With the 2500 leftover I will buy medicine to take care of the chicks. Production will last 45 days after which they’ll weigh 1.5kg and each chicken will be worth 2500 CFA, this means that 15 chicks*2500=37 500 CFA ($75).
Dear Lenders, Hello! I present to you my third project with Zidisha. I will continue to sell chickens. But I have continued to enlarge my ideas. With my third loan 142,840 XOF (246.05 USD), I can buy 50 chicks at 25,000 XOF ( 43.06 USD), 4 sacks of food at 60,000 XOF (103.35 USD), medicine for the chicks 10,000 XOF ( 17.23 USD), and the mulch and the transportation for materials 7,500 XOF ( 12.92 USD). This totals 102,500 XOF (176.56 USD). There remains 40,340 XOF (69.49 USD). I wish to make an egg incubator. I have a small, broken refrigerator I can modify to have an egg incubator. A friend he will ask 20,000 XOF (34.45 USD) and the incubator can hold up to 50 eggs or more. And after that, I will have more experience! And the 20,000 XOF (34.56 USD) that remains, I can repair my broken freezer. Thanks in advance for your help! Ameth
