This month, our attention has been drawn to one specific
small business opportunity activity under the supervision of Washington.
Washington is the eldest son in Bryce Home 15.
Poultry keeping has been a challenging business opportunity
for most of Bryce Home in Kenya. This is due to the fact that it requires
basic poultry keeping knowledge which most of the widows in the program do
not have. However, practice makes perfect and that is how Washington has
managed to be successful in leading this program.

We thank God for the devotion that He has given Washington
in order to serve widows in the Bryce Home program especially in the area
of establishing this important small business opportunity. Pamela Smith, a
missionary in Kenya, has been very helpful in establishing the property
where the poultry program is located where Washington is in-charge. Children
from other Bryce Homes have reached out to Washington and asked him to train
them on how to do a poultry project at their Bryce Home.
The
Bryce Home children are very industrious and look self-driven as each looks
forward to establishing a similar project for their widowed mothers

About twelve of these children from the Bryce Homes have
taken the training seriously and are enthusiastic enough to establish
poultry keeping in their homes especially during this holiday when they are
away from school. In the future we hope to have many more.
We also took time to interview a few of the Bryce homes in
the rural area where Washington resides. All that were interviewed proved to
be very interested in starting a poultry keeping program. They cited
anticipated benefits of poultry keeping which include:
-
Production of eggs which
can be used as food or sold to provide for the homes.
-
Sale of poultry to help
generate money for school fees.
-
Organic manure from the
chicken droppings for fertilizer
We are working on a possible plan to reach out to other
widows with this lucrative activity.

Instilling hope in children is a sure way of giving them a bright future.

to live a responsible life as a child/youth
