We have the same goal for the farm as for our gardens: produce food, contribute to the local economy and people, and use best practices for the environment.

• The eggs provide a welcome protein source in the villagers' diet, as few can afford meat.
• The money raised through the sale of eggs helped the committee last year to build a small barn and stock it with ducks to raise and resell.
• The care of the flock provides training and employment for local people.
• The hens also provide fertilizer for our gardens.
