Description
Chickens offer sustainable nutrition and income.
Chickens play a vital role in transforming the lives of vulnerable families by providing them with a sustainable source of protein through fresh eggs and the opportunity to generate supplemental income by selling surplus eggs. These chickens help combat the devastating effects of malnutrition and empower families to break free from the cycle of poverty, fostering self-sufficiency and resilience in their communities.
Fight malnutrition and boost micro-enterprise.
By gifting chickens, you are helping to prevent the devastating effects of malnutrition and poverty, nurturing hope and transformation in the lives of these precious families. Logistically, it is a cost-efficient solution that addresses both the issue of food insecurity and the need for community-based economic development. We think that supporting micro-enterprises is a great alternative to importing and distributing food from other countries, which doesn’t do enough to stimulate the local economy.
