chickens for widows

UGANDA

 

People struggle to get enough protein in their diet or even to have money for necessities like salt or soap. The Karamoja Chicks Project is helping to address this problem. Each woman who is selected by their own community gets 10 hens, just when they are ready to start laying eggs, which yield 10 eggs a day for a year. The chicks have been raised from one day old, and have been lovingly cared for, fed and vaccinated. The women make their own cages and exchange 25% of the eggs to get high quality feed. The rest of the eggs can be eaten or sold for other needs.
