The “Poultry Farm Distribution Initiative” by GER Sri Lanka focuses on enhancing food security and improving livelihoods in underserved communities. By providing families with the resources to start their own poultry farms, this initiative empowers individuals to achieve self-sufficiency and financial independence.
The program targets families, especially women and single parents, who are eager to engage in sustainable agricultural practices. Participants receive essential items such as chicks, feed, and necessary equipment to establish their poultry farms. Alongside the distribution, GER SL conducts training sessions on poultry management, health care, and best practices for maintaining a productive farm.
This initiative not only helps families generate a steady income through the sale of eggs and meat but also encourages nutritional improvement within the community. By raising chickens, families gain access to fresh, protein-rich food, which is vital for their health and well-being.
The Poultry Farm Distribution Initiative also fosters community engagement and cooperation. As beneficiaries share their experiences and knowledge, they create a network of support that encourages sustainable farming practices. The success of individual farms contributes to the overall economic resilience of the community, reducing dependency on external aid.
Through this initiative, GER Sri Lanka is committed to promoting sustainable livelihoods while addressing food insecurity. By investing in local agricultural practices, GER SL is helping families build a better future, empowering them to rise above poverty and create lasting change in their lives and communities.
