Chicken Farming Project Gives Hope to Seniors

The Chicken Farming Project in China continues to enable more women to run their chicken businesses successfully.

Dangzhicuo is a 55 year-old single mother with three children. Her only source of income is from farming two acres of land. She makes about 7,000 RMB [US$1,100] annually from selling crops, but it is not enough to cover school fees. As a result, two of her children had to stop their education after middle school [grade 9] to help around the house and work their land. Dangzhicuo, herself, has never had the chance to attend school and so finding a good paying job is not possible for her.
Dangzhicuo was one of 70 single moms who each received 2 piglets in December 2017. 30 more families will be helped in the coming months. In addition to the piglets, they are receiving training and support on how to breed piglets and establish their own pig breeding program as part of Captivating’s Pigs for Poverty project. With great excitement she says, “Thank you Shamtse [our partner] and Captivating donors. I now live with hope I can send my children back to school”.
