Description

Help provide training and supplies for a family to raise chickens, providing them with nutritious eggs to eat and a source of income too.

How your gift helps

These siblings are enjoying fresh, nutritious eggs and their family is building a sustainable livelihood, something that’s not always easy in the remote part of Pakistan where they live.

Their grandmother is part of a local Self-Help Group set up by Tearfund’s Christian partner, the Diocese of Hyderabad. With support from this group, she’s been able to save some money and buy chickens to raise. She has been selling eggs in the local market, and the money she’s earned has helped her to buy medicine and other things her family needs.
