@fredrickochyoty @AIDS_conference Good initiative dear,
Lets normalize empowering trans people to micro manage their small business since most of us can't get full job employment, due to very many reasons that can't be explained. Courtesy of #TransAllianceKe. @AIDS_conference @DesireMalindi @iasociety @TransSupportCBO @Jinsiangu
#Poultryfarming So when I had less engagement I decide to start a poultry firm for local chicken ( Kuku Kienyeji ) and I can say soon I will be enjoying eating and also selling them to get little income. My dream is to establish a big firm for poultry chicken. @AIDS_conference
As a trans woman I decided to empower myself through farming so that to secure food for myself especially during this rainy season. #Morerainsmorefoodandyields #Farmingisfun @AIDS_conference @iasociety @DesireMalindi @TransSupportCBO
