Francis has sent news of the chicken project and this picture.

I would like to tell you that we had a meeting on Saturday with people who have benefited from the chicken project. In our survey we have found that this has benefited fifteen families who have managed to buy clothes for their families and they have also managed to pay school fees for their children. When I say these children I mean the ones whom in the past their parents were failing to pay their school fees because of poverty before the chicken project started. This shows that the project is growing up.

The money used for fees and the clothes were coming from the sale of eggs and some chickens. People are now planning to plant vegetables because they have now harvested maize in their gardens. The chicken droppings will help them because they are good manure to vegetables.

Attached are the pictures of some of the chickens which are ready for sale.
