NKECHI ISEDE is the CEO of Vicchs Nk located at YAGEP Farm Cluster, Owa-Alero. She is an SSCE holder who enrolled into the 2018/2019 Cycle as a Brown YAGEPreneur in poultry production. She shares the impact of this intervention on her business and family.

 

“I received 400 broilers, 150 bags of bird feed, drinkers, feeders and a stove from the job creation bureau as a Brown YAGEP support package. I suffered some setbacks due to high mortality. Nevertheless, I am still in business and striving to grow my business. Currently, I have 250 broilers and 37 turkeys because I recently sold off my mature stock.

 

“YAGEP has impacted my life positively. From the proceeds from the poultry business, I bought a motor bike for mobility. From it, I pay my children’s school fees, pay my house rent and feed my children. I am working towards owning a personal land.”
