Sustainable agribusinesses ready to scale

By John Kavyavu | Executive Director

A sustainable Smallholder Family Poultry Farm

Dear Mavuno Supporters,

Our dream to build a financially sustainable organization was once a far fetched dream. Today, we are excited to inform you that we are almost there. Our agribusiness models that we've been developing since last year have been a big success and all of them are financially sustainable. We are ready to scale-up by teaching these models to local farmers as they continue their journey of eradicating extreme poverty in their respective families and communities with the support of Mavuno.

Today we are pleased to share with you about our economically sustainable Smallholder Family Poultry Farm.
