Chicken Farming in Nigeria.
Developing from the work that has been achieved with the fruit tree project, we are teaching the Community Clubs how to efficiently set up small-scale farming businesses. They achieve this from three packets of vegetable seeds and business training.
Problems
- Rapid population growth and large families
- Poor diets and significant levels of malnutrition
- Low availability of protein sources in local markets
- High levels of poverty with few opportunities to generate an income
Solution
- Provide community clubs with vegetable seeds
- Educate them on growing vegetables and selling at market
- Teach them basic business skills to start their chicken business
- Ongoing support as they establish and expand their farming business
