Why buy this Chirpy chickens gift?
- Don’t be a chicken! Buy one instead. They make for egg-cellent – and memorable – charity gifts for family and friends alike!
- A chicken is a great alternative for farmers who can’t rely on crops. They don’t take up much space and they produce delicious, nutritious eggs every single day.
- Chickens breed well. A family’s brood can quickly grow – extra chickens and eggs can be sold to provide families with extra money in case of emergencies.
Case study: Maria’s life-changing chickens
'I am very grateful because [chickens] have been a great financial help’ – Maria, El Salvador
Maria is a chicken farmer from a remote part of El Salvador. With the help of CAFOD’s local partner, Maria received 100 baby chicks, chicken-rearing equipment, and training from local experts to help establish her own thriving, chirpy chicken business.
Since 2019, Maria has been expanding her business and is now making a healthy profit. She’s used the extra money to rebuild her outside sinks and is planning to build a new toilet too.
Maria kept on selling chickens throughout the COVID-19 pandemic – supporting her family as well as her local community.
‘I feel so happy, like it is a roulette and right now I am at the top!’ she says.
This gift is part of our Farming fund.
