Two Women, Shared Challenges, Empowered by the Chicken Farming Program

Through the Chicken Farming Program, resilient women like Qiesha and Biji are creating brighter futures for their families. Their gratitude inspires us!

Depending on your upbringing, you either (1) can’t stand the sight of this pig; or (2) you’re reaching for the eggs.
For me, it’s all about the story. See, I know that this particular pig marks the end of poverty for the mom and baby in the below photo. This sow will produce up to 20 piglets a year which will be sold at market. This baby will grow up to get the education she deserves (along with regular servings of bacon and eggs I imagine). Happy Days.
