During 2023 there was a lot of research, visits to other chicken farms and several telephone calls and planning sessions between Maulana and Gavin.  Early in 2023 it was worked out that Maulana needed R100’000 (about €2’500) to get started with phase 1 of the chicken farm.  A business plan was created.  It was agreed that Maulana would raise half and that Gavin together with Business4Needs&Dreams would provide the other R50’000 in the form of a micro-loan with minimum payments and interest rate.

In January of 2024 funding of R50’000 was made available to Maulana.
