"I am planning to spend my transfers on building a house for my chicken. Currently they sleep in the living room where my children also sleep and that is not healthy. I would also like to build a kitchen where I can cook since as at now I am forced to cook in the house especially when it is raining. Being that I use firewood while cooking, the smoke is at times too much for my young children "

"When I was still unmarried and at home, I started raring two chicken and by the time I was leaving home after I had gotten married, I had close to one hundred of them. I later sold half of the chicken and bought a cattle for my parents while the remaining ones continued to multiply. Today as we speak my parents have a steady cash flow from the poultry project of mine and sometimes they surprise me with a token of appreciation. This for me is the greatest achievement of my life "

I will be able to increase my income as my chicken have will have freedom to feed, move around and lay eggs in nests they can easily hatch. At the moment , I have to keep them in my small house because wild animals that may prey on them."

"I am planning to spend my first four months transfer on rearing poultry. In the first and second months, I plan to use the transfer on building the poultry house and related costs like paying for construction labour and materials. Using the third month transfer I will buy chicken mash after which I purchase ten chicks costing about ksh 200 each using transfer from my fourth month. I intend to use subsequent transfers to cater for their feeds until they lay eggs and become self sustainable."
