Setup

Due to financial limitations, he established a small wooden structure to serve as both office and factory in Kabwohe. In 1997, together with his wife Mrs. Mercy Matsiko, he formally registered the business as Numa Feeds Limited to secure financial support.

Just as the business was beginning to gain momentum, disaster struck in 2000—a fire razed the structure to the ground, wiping out everything.

Undeterred, Robert found hope in his wife’s savings from a small secretarial bureau she operated. With her support, he rebuilt to a semi permanent structure now reinforced with iron sheets and expanded operations, venturing more into brooding chicks for farmers.
