Chickens

Chickens and their eggs are a valuable gift for a family in need. They provide tasty, nutritious protein to help kids develop well. And chickens are easy to breed — so your gift can naturally grow and multiply to impact generations of children.

Each family that receives chickens can sell the offspring for extra income or share them with other families in need. Chicks require little money, space, or food to thrive and grow — making them an ideal business venture for a single mom or vulnerable family.

Chickens have been a blessing for Placeda Mesias and her children in the Philippines. “I am happy because there will be food,” said the mother of six, “like the eggs.”
Three of Placeda’s children were suffering from malnutrition before receiving the chickens. Thanks to the nutritious eggs, they returned to a healthy weight.

In another village down the road, Nelsa Cayapas, a mother of four, also gratefully received donated chickens. “Thank you because it’s a big help, especially in the needs of my children, their schooling and their health,” she said. Nelsa began selling chickens and eggs to her neighbors, using the income to buy rice, milk, sugar, and school supplies.
