DONATE NOWOur Programmes
We are running three programmes based on enterprise and not just aid:
- Poultry Development Services: helping families earn an income from raising chickens
- Agri-Management Services: helping families earn an income from agriculture
- Goateries: helping families earn an income from goat farming
Our flagship programme, Poultry Development Services, was launched in 2011. Here is a short video about how the programme is changing lives in West Bengal…..
If you were living on $2 a day, what would you do to improve your life? That’s a real question for the nearly 1 billion people living in extreme poverty today. There’s no single right answer, of course, and poverty looks different in different places. But through my work with the foundation, I’ve met many people in poor countries who raise chickens, and I have learned a lot about the ins and outs of owning these birds. As a city boy from Seattle, I had a lot to learn! It’s pretty clear to me that just about anyone who’s living in extreme poverty is better off if they have chickens. In fact, if I were in their shoes, that’s what I would do – I would raise chickens.
