Gurubari's story

By Victoria Denison | UK Operations Manager

Gurubari's Story : how raising chickens has helped her sick daughter.

It is well documented across the developing world that when women control money, they are more likely than men to spend it on priorities that help fight poverty, like education, health and nutrition for their children, providing a brighter future for the next generation.  Gububari's story is a great example of this. 

Smruti Das, Shivia's Assistant Consultant in India visited Gurubari recently and she told him about how raising chickens and selling birds and eggs has provided the money she desperately needs for her daughter who suffers from Sickle Cell Anemia. You can hear her story in this short video on our YouTube channel - just click here

Our partnership with the local NGO Nirman in Odisha, means we can quickly and cost-effectively expand our poultry farming programme and reach hundreds more women like Gurubari, offering them the opportunity to change their family's fortunes with a simple and effective toolkit and training programme - and it all starts with a small flock of chickens.

So thank you for supporting Shivia and helping us to extend a helping hand to so many inspiring women just like Gurubari.
