"My journey to financial freedom started one year ago when I landed a contractual job at one of the road construction firm. The dream was short lived when my contract ended without an extension. Since then, I have been yearning to have a source of income of my own. Receiving this money means that I will invest in poultry project at a cost sh 40,000 shillings. I will then buy an incubator for 30,000 and start brooding. In the long run I see my freedom to financial freedom resuming. This is from the sale of their products."
