Community Business Update: Mothers Yes We Can Chicken Farm

I am hoping to use our profits to provide medical care for my grandson who has sickle cell anemia, and to put my 12 grandchildren through school."
     — Rose, a member of Mothers Yes We Can

Why Support Business Training
​Mothers Yes We Can is made up of ten single moms who face poverty and little or no access to family resources like land. These women completed Global Village Connect's Business Training Program and formed a collective. The women are on their way to making profits and changing their lives.

Construction on the building that will house the chickens is nearly finished.

Last year the collective submitted a business plan and funding proposal to Global Village Connect for start-up capital for a chicken farm business. The proposal was approved, and the farm officially began on January 18, 2024 with construction of a facility.

Along with their entrepreneurial training, the women received training from the government on poultry farming. The curriculum taught them best practices for poultry farming including chick management, record keeping, disease control, and marketing.

Chicks Arrive and Thrive 
The chicken house was completed in June: in July, the women purchased 400 chicks. Currently, the farm is operational and the chicks are thriving.

​​Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting community project.
