Due to the current famine in the northeastern region of Africa, food prices have tripled in many areas, including the country of Kenya. Many of our partner orphanages have kept us updated on the rising costs and the burden this has placed on them when providing
food for their children. As a solution, we proposed a sustainable method of food access- grow and care for their own chickens. Aside from being packed with essential vitamins and minerals, eggs have the highest quality protein found in any food- perfect for
growing kids! The chicken coop will provide a fun, educational activity for the kids, teaching them responsibiliy as they see the chickens grow, while providing relief to the caretakers in the form of healthy food access, and saving money spent in the overpriced
market
