About The Project

$600 needed to purchase to more chickens 
$200 contributed by Moses towards his project


Moses and his wife are learning farming skills; how to grow and cultivate Irish potatoes and raise livestock and chickens. They understand the use of manure for fertilizer for the soils. They have bought a goat with initial donations. They have managed to put money into a local savings group (SACCO). They will continue to grow and sell potatoes and, with future investments, add chickens to the flock and grow his poultry business. These early investments have help Moses provide the basic needs for his young family.



Paying it Forward

Moses will provide jobs for others in his community. And he wants to educate others, from his experieces, on how to get ahead in this community of displaced families.

Backstory

Moses is married and they have a two-year-old child. They live with relatives until they can build their own home. His wife provides labor for neighbors in the community. Their other source of income had been collecting and selling potatoes that were left after neighbor’s harvests. An initial small investment has helped them buy a goat, for manure fertilizer, and some chickens to raise and sell. One of the biggest challenges has been that his wife needed an operation. She is better now, life is improving and they are now able to have regular meals.
