In this report we have a really inspiring impact story featuring one of the women who has taken up poultry farming with our Poultry Development Services programme.
Serina joined our programme a year ago and was only just getting going when the Covid-19 pandemic changed everything for her and her family. Her husband, who until then had been the main earner in the family, lost his job during lockdown, leaving them seriously short of money - but Serina and her small flock of chickens saved the day! Find out how in this short video we shot in October with Chandrani, our Head of Livelihood Programmes in West Bengal - click here to watch on YouTube.
Serina's is just one of thousands of impact stories we have collected over the last 10 years since we launched Poultry Development Services. This programme has helped over 14,800 families earn money from raising chickens - it's a simple, practical and cost-effective solution to the poverty trap problem which affects so many people in the rural villages where we are working. And it's bringing out the entrepreneurial spirit in our hard-working farmers, as you will hear in the video.
Thank you for your continued support.
Best wishes from
The team at Shivia
