Stuff the turkey….and spare a thought for chickens

Are you stuck for inspiration this Christmas? Are you looking for an original gift idea for friends or family? Or considering giving further afield?  We might have the answer you are looking for…..

Give the gift of chickens…

We have just launched our Christmas fundraising appeal: ‘Stuff the turkey and spare a thought for chickens’.

With a donation of just £15 to Shivia you could give the gift of chickens to a family living in poverty in India this Christmas. Not just one chicken but a small flock of 10 chicks which will soon grow into a ready source of some much needed cash (not to mention a nutritious meal for the whole family).  We call this our Poultry Toolkit and it provides everything our beneficiaries need to start a back-yard chicken farming enterprise, including extensive training and advice from our team of chicken farming experts to maximise success.

The countdown has started…

We hope you will get involved over the next couple of weeks. Our target is to raise enough donations to supply 200 Poultry Toolkits to families in need in the rural villages near Kolkata…..that’s 2,000 chickens! We are doing this through our crowdfunding partner Global Giving – they are running an end-of-year campaign for participating charities and, with your help, we could win a £1,000 bonus prize…and that could pay for another 66 Poultry Toolkits.

How to donate…

It’s easy to donate and turn your money into a Poultry Toolkit (or two or more) and help a family start their chicken farming enterprise for a brighter future.

Wishing you a very happy Christmas from everyone at Shivia.

Thank you.
