Project Feasibility

   This project will add more chickens to the existing chicken coop at the orphanage. There is a ready market for the orphanage’s eggs. Currently, eggs are being sold to local shops and restaurants in Ngong Town. The children advertise the eggs to local shops and restaurants. Sometimes, local volunteers refer local businesses to the orphanage. As a result, local businesses have been contacting the orphanage for eggs, asking for between 10-20 crates per day (however, the chicken farm is currently only able to supply two crates per day). Moreover, local businesses have been willing to support and purchase Faraja’s eggs because they understand that the Faraja Kuku Farm Project is for the financial sustainability of a local orphanage.
  
   In long term projections, the 98 original chickens will eventually be sold to market for meat and some can be used to supplement a weekly meal at the orphanage. Any profit made from the meat will be turned over back into the Kuku Farm to purchase more chicks.
