I made a short post some days ago of my intention to go into farming. I mentioned my challenges which are land and capital.
I have already decided on the aspect of farming I wish to go into;
Fish farming
Poultry
Veggies
In the post I also mention a possible place to get land. I have written to the school authority and they have accepted my request. I have been give a piece of land that I can use for as long as possible. T & C apply.
I was happy when I got the permission from them. One down, still need capital. They were actually impressed that a youth wants to invest into agriculture and didn't have hard time accepting my request.
How do I get the capital?
I got an information yesterday that some individuals in partnership with the "Catholic Diocese" of the state I reside in came up with an initiative to empower the Catholic youths - to help alleviate the level of poverty and unemployment amongst the Catholic youths. With stress on the "Catholic".
You must be a Catholic. Fortunately, I am a Catholic. But they stressed on " An Active Catholic Youth", unfortunately I have not been active.
I met one of the "elders" in charge of the grant process. He told me all the need to know about the project - The processes and requirements. And the major requirement is being an active Catholic youth in the Diocese and must belong to at least one Society in the church.
What to do?
It's worth giving it a shot. There is no harm in trying. I will go through with it if given the opportunity, who knows I might be fortunate enough to be listed among the qualified youths for the grant.
They have already started disbursing the fund to the first batch, I just retired from the fish farm of two beneficiaries. I was motivated.
So the first process is getting the form, filling it and getting the signature of some individuals including the Parish Priest. I am still working on getting the form.
Wish me luck, because I need lots of it.
Thank you for reading.
I wish you good luck. I love your determination.
