NAME: Nuriat Kaka
COUNTRY: Rwanda
BUSINESS: Rwanda Chick (chicken farming)
Nuriat, 40 years old, owns Rwanda Chick, a chicken farm. She started the business after she discovered there was a need to develop poultry farming in her country.
Nuriat has been importing chickens, but she now plans to start a hatchery plant. She currently has five employees.
She describes the business as a income generator especially for rural areas. It not only provides nutrition for the community, but it also creates jobs and as an added benefit produces a source of fertilizer.
Nuriat is currently working toward her MBA through correspondence with Cambridge International College. Over the next five years, she hopes to close the gap between the number of chickens imported and the demand for chickens in Rwanda. She would like to create more employment opportunities with her farm in rural areas, especially for women and youth.
By attending PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS, Nuriat wants to learn more about managing her business and how to add value to her product. She looks forward to meeting other businesswomen and sharing ideas with those in her field.
Although many people doubted her capability to run a farm as an educated woman, Nuriat has proven successful in her chicken farming business.
