Before joining the poultry farming project, I had 50,000 shillings as capital in my local beauty business, making sales between 250,000 and 300,000 shillings. After starting poultry farming, my income increased, and I added 500,000 shillings to my beauty business, which allowed me to secure 750,000 shillings in total. . Since acquiring the incubator, I have already hatched my own eggs three times, and now my family consumes eggs three times a week, compared to once a month as before. This project has also helped me improve my chicken coop and sell roosters to neighbors. Overall, it has greatly improved my family’s life and allowed us to avoid environmentally harmful activities.
These funds were also used to purchase sand and bricks to finish my house and renovate another by installing rent and paint. Rent payments from tenants increased from 25,000 to 50,000 shillings per month.
