Chicken breeding programme
From chicks to eggs...
In Malawi, many families struggle to grow food and make a living from their land. One project your gift could help fund is a chicken-breeding scheme.
Women are given help to buy broods of chicks to raise. Then, the nutritious eggs that these chickens produce can be eaten by poor families or sold at local markets, enabling them to earn an income.
