Having been engaged in trading fish for the past 5 years .I have realized there is a need to diversify in income generating activities so that I cannot fall into a period of stagnation like before.My husband and I have decided to start up a poultry business starting with 20 hens each costing KES 350.This will enable us have daily income from sale of eggs , sometimes sale of the hens and also have a ready source of animal protein in place of fish.The remaining amount we shall use to build a house for our 3 children as well as establish a new kitchen structure worth KES 20000.Our current house has fallen due to invasion by termites

The availability of peace and good health amongst my family members in the past 6 months has brought happiness into my life.Although we have been through a period of financial limitations which caused a decline in the quality and quantity of meals and goodies we get.My family has remained united supportive , happy and appreciative to whatever we get in a day.This has given me joy and peace of mind.

I am a mother of 3 engaging in fish trade from the year 2019.The fluctuations in the population of fish recently in Lake Baringo has caused inadequacy in my household income.Fishing is the main economic activity in this area. My husband and I have engaged in this activity for 5 years , it has been difficult to diversify to other forms of economic activities such as farming due to the natural calamities that regularly affect agriculture.In the past 2 months the number of fish in Lake Baringo has been declining rapidly leading to a decrease in my monthly income from KES 21000 to KES 9000.This has negatively affected my life in that I have had to cut on the quality and quantity of meals in my household from 3 to 2 meals a day.Moreover, I have had to get into debt to meet the household utilities and food.Financial shortage is therefore the greatest challenge am currently facing.
