Chicken Project Update

Maphiveni Ladies Chicken Project update

From small beginnings the Lord will grow this business. 

The Ladies were very happy and thankful to the Lord for providing the opportunity to work. We were very impressed with the organization. They had a schedule in place for when each of the ladies would be working a twelve hour day selling the chickens and caring for them. There is a nightly security guard  to prevent theft

The initial purchase was for 100 chickens but due to extreme heat about 40% died .they have sold 35 chickens at $4.50 each. The ladies were able to sell all the remaining flock within three weeks and had to make a second purchase of chickens. The women are now buying the chickens earlier and keeping them a little longer so the chicks can get a little fatter.  The first batch turned a profit of over $400. We only need to help them cover the cost of the security guard and some additional feed for the chicks. All the rest of the financial needs are covered from the profits of the business. 

Make Phumzile, Christinah, and Busisisiwe are three of the women involved in caring for the project.
