NKURENKURU, 20 OCT (NAMPA) - The Kavango West Regional Council on Friday handed over equipment and poultry feed worth N.dollars 58 000 to a poultry farm at Kakuro village as part of its Micro Finance and Rural Employment Scheme.
This was the second handover done under the employment scheme following the handover of agricultural equipment worth N.dollars 65 828 to a small business in the Mpungu Constituency.
The owner of Tupeniko Poultry Farming, 36-year-old Veikko Mandume, started the business six years ago.
Nkurenkuru Constituency Councillor Fillipus Tenga at the handover said the funds were availed from the 2023/24 budget to empower the youth and marginalised people in the constituency who have already running projects that require further assistance.
The councillor said Mandume should make good use of the materials to improve his business.
“We would like to see him producing more so once the business grows, he can employ others and also train others who also want to start poultry farms,” said Tenga.
Mandume on his part thanked the regional council. He said it was challenging running the business as the chicken feed is expensive and he has to go to Rundu to buy food and medication for the chickens.
