Your chirpy chicks are helping families in Zimbabwe generate much-needed income. Oxfam works to increase access to food by providing families with the initial funds to buy chickens. Households can then use the eggs at home or sell them at market to earn an income. And, if the chickens breed, families can get more chickens! And more eggs… and more chickens… and more eggs!

Tenias Jose Tamele, pictured left, holds newly-hatched chickens which will be distributed by Oxfam to families living in poverty.
