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
Here is a short video about how we are changing the lives of some of the world’s poorest families. The footage was taken in the villages where we are working and features a number of our beneficiaries from each of our programmes….
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.
