Please help me start my poultry business

Hi, my name is Lucky Mthombeni and I'm an unemployed graduate who has ambitions of becoming an entrepreneur.

I am a graduate who has been unable to find a permanent job for the last two years and I now intend on starting my small business where I'll grow chickens and sell eggs.

South Africa has over the past 10 years experienced an alarming increase in youth unemployment. This stems from a variety of reasons which include a decline in the number of jobs available to the young people of South Africa, lack of exposure to work opportunities and work experience, and a plethora of social and psychological stresses which have meant that many young people are regarded as poor candidates for employment opportunities. I have been unemployed for the past two years and as such I haven't been able to save enough money in order to start the project by myself.

The coronavirus has really affected my plans of raising the funds for the business and the South African government doesn't fund start up business. My aim is to start a small scale poultry business. The poultry business has proven to be quite lucrative in South Africa and this is a market which is in need of more people. The idea of going into business stems from having a passion for farming and unemployment. I aim to raise about $1500 so I can start the business around October this year.

I need R30 000 which is less than $3000 to be able to start the business in my own backyard. The money will help in building the structure where the chickens will live as well as buy the trading stock that I will need for this business venture

I would be happy if you could use the [Help by sharing] button to share about my project!
