Women in Singore, Kapchemutwa ward, are set to reap the benefits of a new economic empowerment initiative after receiving 7-week-old chicks, poultry feed, and essential rearing equipment.
The initiative, spearheaded by the Member of County Assembly (MCA) for Kapchemutwa Ward Stephen Cheruiyot, aims to uplift women economically through poultry farming.
As part of the first phase of the programme, 1,000 chicks, 15 bags of 50kg poultry feed, drinkers, and feeders were distributed to the beneficiaries. "We have begun this project on a small scale, but the vision is big," said MCA Cheruiyot during the distribution event. "The women of the Singore location identified poultry rearing as a sustainable and empowering economic activity.
We listened, and we are here to support them," he added.
