Since the last project update, a new group of three men and two women from the community Chiarmira of El Sauce Xesuyú organized themselves to work together to start their own hen-raising project, following the success of the 11-family chicken cooperative that we reported on in October. Together, this new group of five community members has purchased 300 egg-producing hens. With the assistance of APROSADSE, the group installed a proper chicken coup to place these 300 hens using wood, steel plates and cement blocs. Since September, the group has been meeting monthly with APROSADSE to gain administrative and basic management skills to implement in their hen-raising project. APROSADSE is happy to report that after a short period of forming their own group, the five members are currently producing nine dozen of eggs per day, which they sell at the local market together with the 11-family chicken cooperative.
