Therefore lack of source of income is the biggest hardship I have faced in my life."

"I am so passionate about poultry keeping and this is something that has been with me for the longest time now. I love it because it does not require a lot of space and it easy to manage to a point that even a disabled person like myself can do. Chicken is also a good source of protein for my growing children. To start it off, I want to invest heavily in the structure and I plan to spend 30000 shillings on the same. I also plan to buy 50 chicken each costing 500 shillings. Poultry feeds is also important and I will spend 20000 shillings on this. This is enough to get my business up and running. Receiving this money will mean so much to me as it will enable me to gain financial independence."
