We are an Australian not-for-profit organisation primarily focused on supporting improved health and production of village chickens as they are often the only animals owned by vulnerable households, especially women-headed households. We also support local innovation for solutions to local problems, because communities know what they need. We believe in demand-driven development and the localisation of aid.
CHICKENS FOR CHANGE
