Kenyan cooperatives start and sustain chicken coop throughout 2021
Last holiday season, we asked our cooperatives what they could use funds for to better serve in their area. Our Kenyan cooperatives (Simon Njeru & Irene Wanjiru, Reuben Ndwiga & Ann Wambura) asked for chickens. Via supporters through our holiday campaign, they received 100 chicks and chicken coop supplies. Ann shares a video update, and Irene writes an update on the project.
Surely the chicken project is going on very well. We are in the second phase, meaning we are in the process of selling chickens to people who are keeping them for the eggs and others are buying them for the meat for their families.
This project has impacted us as Kenyan cooperatives because we have come to realize that we can even keep bigger bulk of chicken for we are now able to manage the ones we have. It is running well, and it has given us the great experience of poultry farming which is not very common in our area due to cost, care, and cleanliness. But we have managed and succeeded.
We as Kenyan cooperatives have been impacted by this chicken project so much that even our children are learning how to feed them as well as youths. Some are even claiming that when they get older they will have their own chicken project for they have seen a good outcome.
This project is promoting sustainability for all of us because we are now eating chicken meat which is usually very costly. Chicken is mostly eaten in well-to-do families, but we are eating them without struggle. Also, we are giving chicken meat to the older widows from poor families and the disabled around our place.
Moreover, we are now able to buy exercise books and pens for our kids and youths which was not easy previously. Also, those who buy our chickens were traveling far distances to buy chickens before but are not doing that now, so this project has minimized their cost of doing things.
Therefore we are so thankful for the way you have decided to help us with the funds which have given us the ability to start this project this year. So may God bless you more and broaden your boundaries in every aspect of your lives.
