As the government struggles to provide capitation to various learning institutions, some have devised alternative mechanisms to raise extra income, enabling them to stop total dependency on students' fees and government support.
A number of these learning centres, in collaboration with various departments in county and national governments, have embraced agribusiness to supplement the government's capitation and students' fees.
Migori Teachers Training College (TTC), located in the heart of Migori Town, is one such institution that has embraced poultry farming to generate top-up income to sustain the institution, over and above the two traditional sources of income for learning institutions.
The poultry venture, which started in 2020 as a trial introduced as a learning tool for students, has grown over the years.
