PARULI

(Poultry Farmer)

Paruli has been on our poultry programme for two years and is well on her way to becoming completely independent of Shivia and carrying on with her chicken farming enterprise without the need for our support. With all the training behind her, we are confident that she has the skills and confidence to expand her small business, gain financial security and reach new goals…in addition to the ones she has already achieved.

She is so proud of the new fridge which she bought with her earnings. She has also helped her husband progress with his own business selling vegetables, with money towards a cycle ‘van’ which he uses to transport his produce to the local market. The fridge is also used for storing the vegetables, keeping them fresh for longer.

Paruli now has plans to improve the family’s small two-roomed house which is no longer sturdy enough to withstand the monsoon rains. We have no doubt that she will achieve this and much more as she builds her chicken farming enterprise into an small empire!

  • Agri-management Services has the capacity to deliver lasting change for our farmers. I have always felt that the farmers feed our nation while they can hardly afford to feed themselves. What an irony. So if my team and I are able to help farmers earn a sustainable income through agriculture, there’s nothing better than this.
