PLWHA Poultry Farm

The other day, Smith and I had the opportunity to visit the local PLWHA (People Living with HIV/AIDS) association's poultry "farm". This project serves as an income generating activity for this group. The association received a grant from UNAIDS and has used some of those funds to construct the building and buy 106 hens. From a financial standpoint, they've yet to see any return on their investment as the hens are not yet producing eggs, nor are they plump enough to sell. But…they are reaping other benefits. This group of people has a renewed sense of purpose. They have become contributing members of the community and are playing an active role in improving their own quality of life. How exciting!
