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!

Another My First Job Assistant Chef Program commenced in one beautiful rural village in the western region of China. The local people mostly depend on herding yaks and sheep for their livelihood, but for those who do not own any livestock, life is quite difficult.
On August 3, the third My First Job program this year was launched wherein 30 women were accommodated. In the next three months, they will receive intensive cooking training. Mastering a new skill – cooking – will allow them to explore more opportunities and means of livelihood apart from the traditional herding life.
