With a capital investment of Sh900,000, Herrine Omenda, 32, ventured into poultry farming with a mission to kill two birds using one stone.

In early 2015, her husband Charles Odera introduced her to farming at their two-acre parcel at Kasule in Nyamasaria, Kisumu County, where he practised mixed farming.
