Hunger is one of the obstacles to learning that we regularly face in Kenya. That is why feeding our “lambs” is such an integral part of what we do at Shepherd’s Little Lambs. Protein is an essential part of a healthy diet, but it is also one of the most costly components of the food we provide.
To help in our fight against hunger and increase access to high-quality protein, we are constructing a chicken coop at our Kijabe location. This project has been made possible by one of our generous donors who recognized the need and responded with compassion.
We especially love initiatives like this because of the many benefits they provide:
Improved access to high-quality food
The opportunity to teach children valuable skills through raising chickens and harvesting eggs
Support for the crops we already grow on our property
Greater environmental and financial sustainability
