Dakuwadada Village, Nepal

Hartaj* and his family have learnt many Transformational Community Development (TCD) lessons. They had no job at first and were facing financial problems. When they joined the TCD class and learnt about Income Generation and self-sustainability, they started poultry farming, and now they have a job and income. Having his own poultry farm is his pride and joy. Hartaj said, “Now my family has become a model family by running a poultry farm in the Paswan community.”  

Chainpur Village, Nepal

This month, we helped one family build a poultry farm. The Transformational Community Development (TCD) Income Generation training inspired them to start poultry farming in a rented building. They didn’t have enough money to build a chicken enclosure, but TCD members helped with labour and they were able to build one. Now the family can keep chickens on their own property from the beginning of next month.
