OUR BLOGOur 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

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.
