The ladies working with the Chicken Project have finally moved to a larger building since their chicken business has really taken off and they were able to start bringing in a profit within just a couple months. Now that they have the new building, there are some details that need to be worked out with the group. They have been working on a constitution for the members to follow and meeting the various requirements that the Chief (who owns the land the building is on) has come up with.
The women have worked really hard to clean up this building and refurbish it to house their expansion of the chicken project. We will be supplying them with the funds to build a cement fence around the building to keep the cows out from wandering in among the chickens.

I (Jenn) volunteered to take several of the ladies and Solomon (the overseer) into town this last week to help them open a bank account. Well, to open the bank account, the women all needed to get their own id. This process took several hours and I was just sitting outside waiting for the ladies to finish their business. Several people came up to me asking what I was doing. I guess I looked suspicious just sitting there outside the building. We weren't able to finish all the necessary steps for opening the account that day so we will have to go back again to complete everything. Once the account is opened, the women will be purchasing some more chickens to raise to sell. We are so grateful to a couple of our friends who have graciously decided to back this operation financially so that these women are able to earn an honest income and support their families. Please pray that we are able to get this venture off the ground once again and that it will be a good source of income for these women.
