Chickens

A pair of chickens could bring their own gifts to a family.

• Their eggs enrich children’s diets.
• Chickens can also be sold – along with new chicks.
• And their manure can be used to fertilise vegetable gardens.

13-year-old Metadel (pictured) and her family received chickens, vegetable and fruit seeds – they can now enjoy more nutritious diets and their farming has also improved.

If you don’t want to give a goat – but you like the idea of an alternative charity gift that keeps on giving… why not give a chicken? (Or two!) Chicken gifts could bring health, happiness, and longer-term benefits to families’ livelihoods.
