In 2022, I saw a significant improvement in my business structure. Before, I had to be present to monitor operations in the business, or else things would fail to run smoothly. PIND helped me set up structures and employ the right staff to handle the daily running of the farm. I can now travel for training and workshops and to network with other service providers.
The standard of our training has improved, which is why more organizations and farmers want to work with us and even pay for our services. The market system approach developed by PIND has been the solution to all our problems. It benefits farmers and service providers because a reporting system makes us accountable to each other.
Before, smallholder poultry farmers in my community ran their businesses without proper structure and record keeping making it difficult for them to access finance. After training them, they have seen significant improvements, including increased profits. I want to thank PIND for reaching out to us at the grassroots level and giving us tools to improve our business, livelihood, and community.
