Esther, a dedicated mother and poultry farmer, has transformed her family's fortunes through chicken farming with the support of Kilimo Trust. Starting with just a handful of local breeds, Esther struggled with high mortality rates and low productivity.
But after receiving training on proper feeding, disease management, and poultry housing, her farm began to flourish. Today, she manages a thriving flock of layers and broilers, supplying eggs and meat to nearby markets and schools.
The income from her poultry business has enabled Esther to pay school fees, improve her home, and mentor other women in her village. Her journey is a powerful example of how targeted agricultural support can turn small-scale farming into a source of dignity, stability, and hope.
