Project of chicken

The word is out: We want project of chicken. What? Project of chicken!

Our women's group will put together the little savings they have and buy chicken together. After keeping them in a chicken house, feeding them chicken food and having chicken light bulbs shining over them for 40 days they will be ready to sell.

A little chicken costs 3.5 NES, a big chicken makes 27 NES. Good money! And everyone eats chicken all the time. Chicken soup, chicken with rice, chicken with everything. So no problem to get rid of them and get rich.



Sometimes the chicken die. They get illnesses. Last time there was project of chicken all 400 died. The women are not very eager to have this experience again. All the money they put in was lost.

What will we do? Little bit of teaching planning and bookkeeping. Little bit of ensuring commitment to invest, to work, to sell. Little bit of making sure there are arrangements for dividing the profit. But also connections to other chicken farms, ideas for product differentiation and other difficult words. But first: project of chicken!
