Rock chicks with a difference!

 When you have got many mouths to feed through a feeding program - see our article Kitwe Feeding Program - and not a lot of financial resources to call upon, what do you do? Lillian Mwila of the Newfrontiers church in Kitwe found that chicks really do rock!

Firstly, she bought some chicks, we helped her this time to buy three boxes........

Then she prepared her back shed, putting in a 24 hour electic light, sectioning off a part of the shed to start with, placing down cardboard on the floor and putting feed into the feeding trays........

Then she took the chicks out of the box........

And placed them in the area she had prepared for them in her shed. Over the next six weeks the chicks will grow and the section barrier will be moved back until they fill the shed whereupon they will be sold locally realising an overall 2 million kwacha profit (£250) profit - not much you may say for all the effort put into the project, but its what resourceful Proverbs 31 Rock Chicks do!

Providing Lillian can fund the initial investment of buying the chicks in the first place, she will do this up to 6 times a year using the profits to fund amongst other things the feeding program detailed also on this website.
