Poultry Farming

The project assists rural needy people to engage in poultry farming. They have formed Poultry committee in their revenue village, which comes together on monthly basis to monitor the progress as well as to pay the Vaccinator for tasks performed.

All members contribute regularly with small sums of money, which together will form a pool to be used as a source of loans and emergency needs for the needy. Such measures facilitate access to finance and will contribute to the financial stability of the beneficiaries.

The project is a simple yet an effective solution for complex development challenges. Firstly, poultry requires low financial investment, giving a feasible alternative for poor and small scale farmers. Secondly, it does not require large pieces of land, an advantage for landless and small landholders. Thirdly, it is easy to learn and maintain. Fourthly, it gives high economic returns. In fact, local markets pay much higher prices for rural poultry farming products.

It fits into Indian tradition which gives responsibility for the rearing of small animals to women. Finally, the WCCWFs work with the community to engage in collective action to generate social impact. Such groups are widely used to reduce gender inequalities, giving more decision-making power to women in their households and communities. As a consequence, the project aims to use poultry as a tool to achieve relevant social and economic transformation of poor people’s lives, their families and communities.
