In 2008, the Los Pinos de Xesuj group achieved regular income-generation through APROSADSE’s chicken project. The group of 16 women sold 3 to 5 chickens at $8.10 each week, and 1 to 2 turkeys every three months at $27.03 each. This amounted to a weekly income of $13.50-$20.27, which equals a monthly income of $54.00-$81.00. Additionally, the group cared for 1,000 hen-laying eggs, also providing a substantial income. The project benefits not just the women, but also a total of 56 family members.
