Problem

Poor children lack protein in their diets. Gifting a chick and the feed needed to raise it provides needy kids with a way to produce eggs for the family diet and a way to earn cash that can be used to buy medicine and other basic necessities.

The Gift

This gift will provide a poor child with a chick to raise and the quality feed it will need to produce eggs. Because the chicks will be produced as part of other African Children Haven projects, the children will also receive basic instructions in how to raise their birds, produce a larger flock and market their eggs for cash income.
