Help us start a new chicken business in Remolino to create Jobs for women
In all five of our previous chicken business startups, we’ve seen the huge impact job opportunities make on families' lives. Increased family income leads to healthier families, more emphasis on education, and marriage equality. By starting a chicken business in Remolino, five women will have the opportunity to co-own this small business. This will help these women build, in just one year, what is normally impossible for most Honduran women to build in an entire lifetime.
THE IMPACT
Through this business, five entire families will experience not only economic transformation, but be able to move from survival to sustainability. Many women do not have the opportunity to work in this community, and those who do earn about $3/day. These women will have the opportunity to earn five to six times more during their first three years in the business. Better yet, they will have the opportunity to be near their children all day while productively working in their own community.
THE PLAN
We will build this coop in the community of Remolino to hold a capacity of 2,000 chickens. Five women will have the opportunity to co-own this coop. Every 30 days, the chickens are sold, and the women receive their income.
THE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY
An investment of $35,000 is needed to build and start a chicken business in the community of Remolino.
PROVEN SUCCESS
This will be the sixth chicken business we’ve started in the rural communities of Honduras that we partner with. We have grown 5 businesses to become profitable and handed off complete ownership to the women who work at the coops. This year, we have seen their most profitable chicken cycle ever, where three women each brought home $500 to their families for one month of work.
