Hatching Hope in Kisii

Right now in Kisii we’re raising a bright, secure home for 200 laying hens—complete with a roomy fenced yard where they can scratch in the morning sun. Each fresh egg will feed local families and put daily income in a woman farmer’s hands, while a share of the profits plants seeds for the next small farm we’ll uplift. If this vision makes your heart beat a little faster, please give what you can today and help us swing those coop doors open.

Update · 30 May 2025

We met to nail down practical next steps for the Kisii farm. First, the poultry: we’ll build a dedicated coop for up to 300 birds, with a separate layers section so eggs can be collected without disturbing the flock. On fencing, we agreed on layout and are sourcing posts, wire, and gate hardware now. In parallel, we’ve started sowing our own feed crop; if germination stays on track, we should be off the feed-store bill by September 2025.

Several people have asked how they can get involved. We’re exploring a straightforward contribution model. For clarity: Jam Raye Agro Holdings Ltd keeps 35 % of net profit for bare-bones admin, and reinvests the remaining 65 % into new partnerships with women farmers. Donations are welcome, but only where values and long-term goals align.

Discussed plans to increase the herd to 15 by September. The intention is to purchase 5 female Gala or Somali goats. After the first litter of kids, we will acquire a pure Boer or Kalahari Red.

  • Sent an additional $15,000, which was utilized to purchase a smartphone and cover the monthly stipend.
  • Sent an additional $15,000, which was used to purchase two more goats. We now have a total of nine goats.
  • Contract signed on April 15, 2025.
    First capital installment sent on April 26, 2025.
    On Sunday, April 27, 2025, we discovered that goats were more expensive than stated online. Instead of purchasing 10 goats, we decided to buy 7. Although we originally wanted Gala goats, we were unable to find any at the local market, so we opted for Mbuza goats instead.
