At Hand in Hand Eastern Africa(HiH EA) we are excited to be implementing this project.The past 2 months have been spent setting up structures for the project in terms of creating awareness on the project outcomes to the implementors on the ground .From mapping potential small holder farmers to work with to scouting for potential partners who will work with us in this project.The smallholder farmers have already gone through the HiH EA enterprise training module and will look upon this project to provide the expertise in technical terms to accelerate their poultry enterprises.The task ahead is forming the Community Based Organization(CBO) which will enable the small holder farmers to enjoy economies of scale and marketing opportunities.The CBO will be owned and run by the smallholder farmers and we envision after the project the small holder farmers will be profitably running businesses along the Poultry value chain and will harness the backward and forward linkages to earn more profit.In the months to come the project will take shape with bustling activities among the smallholder farmers ,implementing the training they will recieve from HiH EA.
We are still fundraising for the project and we encourage support from all quarters to enable the project to create Sutainable livelihoods for 220 farmers along the poultry value chain in Sotik town, Kenya
