This year marked an exciting milestone for our partners in Malawi. Construction officially began on the Rural Poultry Centre’s new Farmer Field School in Chadza! Set against the stunning backdrop of Ngala and Msozi mountains, the school’s location is as inspiring as its purpose.

Thanks to support from the Palladium Our Communities Fund, the first phase of construction began in March, including a main building with a storeroom and egg incubation room, along with a toilet block, guard house, and perimeter fence.

Once up and running, the school will become a hands-on training hub for healthy, sustainable poultry production. The incubation facility will help meet local demand for hardy, low-input chickens offering a more resilient and affordable option for rural families.

We’re thrilled to see this long-envisioned project take shape and can’t wait to witness the impact it will have in the months and years to come.

”The Farmer Field School at Chadza will empower local farmers with growing skills, nourish their communities and help families build lasting food security and knowledge to thrive.”
