"When I started receiving the transfer after the enrolment, I decided to invest the money in poultry farming. Therefore, I constructed a structure and kept broilers for sale. By the time I started, I faced some challenges but through them, I grew stronger. As of now, I keep up to 150 broilers at the same time. My goal which I would like to accomplish by the end of the year is to renovate the structure where I keep my 150 broilers to a bigger one which will accommodate at least 500 broilers. This will aid me to save for my further studies. Having completed my secondary education, my mother who is a housewife could not take me to college because there are my young siblings who also need her input. Based on that, I am optimistic that through the savings I will make from my investment, I will be able to take myself to college."

"My main goals for this year and beyond are; to buy a goat, start my own retail shop business and also to educate my child who is currently in grade 1. My main aim was to invest in something that would generate income so that I don't strain financially when the project comes to a halt. To achieve this, I decided to save the little amount I receive, and plan to withdraw after a certain period to accomplish my plans."
