Egg Incubator for Poor Women

A microproject by Water, Agroforestry, Nutrition and Development Foundation
Egg Incubator for Poor Women

Summary

The project seeks to increase the incomes of poor women chicken and duck entrepreneurs by the purchase of a 1,200 egg capacity incubator so that their production of chicks will increase to a level of 1,000 chicks (minus mortality) per 28-day cycle. In this way they are able to produce and sell 1,000 day-old chicks in volume rather than at the present rate of depending on the chicken to hatch their eggs. This will mean good income for 72 poor women engaging in chicken and duck raising here.

Challenge

Chicken and duck raising for eggs and day-old chicks is a lucrative business here and a group of poor women entrepreneurs are engaged in this business. They lack an egg incubator in order to increase their day-old chick production and the purchase amount at about 1,500 dollars is too high for them. If they have an incubator this can tremendously boost their production and income.

Solution

Providing poor women entrepreneurs with an egg incubator will tremendously boost their income and quality of life.

Long-Term Impact

Economic stability and improve incomes means improved communities here and with people having higher chances in life.
