Kenya: $5,275
Poultry Raising
Project Coordinator: Mrs. Milicent Mulehi

Twenty members of the group, Vihiga Yearly Meeting, are participating in this three-year project. The group has 23 members, twenty women and three men. The men appear to be in a supportive role only, particularly maintaining financial records. For this project, the twenty women will be lent $230 to construct a poultry unit with at least twenty mature layers and three roosters. Income will begin the fourth month with each woman earning $14. Loan repayments will be $5 per month. The proposal also states, “though this project is focused on the members of KAVG our long term goal is to pull most, if not all, Christian women irrespective of denominational affiliation into the project”. Economics are:

 

GROSS INCOME	EXPENSES	LOAN REPAYMENT	NET INCOME
$25	$10	$5	$10

 

From Africa Quaker Vision's site visit report, “When we visited all 20 members were in attendance, an indication of togetherness and willingness to work as a group. The group has a well-coordinated leadership of five women and well blended with both young women and old. The group has a well defined proposal for income generating, reflecting what is possible to achieve on the ground. The group has a functional bank account and well kept books of account. They are involved in small-scale business and members make contribution towards the needs of the project activities. The group is clear on the objectives and activities to be undertaken.”
