About The Project

$700 needed to purchase more chickens, materials for a coop and vegetable seeds
$340 contributed by Norah towards her project

With an initial investment Norah built a chicken coop and feed. She also put money into savings for future improvements. She has benefited from discussing the projects of other families. She learned that the demand for eggs is growing so she added more hens to her flock. She bought a goat to provide manure to use as an organic fertilizer to increase her vegetable production. for her garden. As she is seeing her income increasing, she plans to enlarge her coop, buy more hens and save to rent some land to grow more crops. As her business grows she will provide jobs for her community. And her egg sales will be a source of nutrition for community families.



Paying it Forward

Norah volunteers at Muramba Child Development Centre. As her farming business grows, she will be able to provide jobs for her local community.
