Background
For members of the smaller communities in Tanzania, it is often quite difficult to support its leaders. The means to generate an income are also scarce. These community leaders often have need for a little extra income for their families, but not at the expense of their community work. A quantity of 250 chickens can mean a substantial contribution to their income. The consumption of eggs also has a positive influence on the nutritional standard of the family. The work associated with egg production can easily be combined with other chores and responsibilities that can be delegated.

• To provide substantial income improvement for community leaders in small communities.
  
• Improve nutritional standards of the families.
  

Five leaders have been selected in greater Dar es Salaam and Mtwara to participate in this program. World Partners is providing technical support. By way of a loan, a chicken coop is being built; and chicks and feed are being purchased for the initial six months.

The egg production is then under way and the loan repayment starts. With the funds that are freed up, other families can be helped.
