Flock Of Chicks
$25
To our eyes, they are a cute bundle of fluff. To a hungry family, they are a source of food, income, and employment. Chickens provide eggs, meat, and a rich source of natural fertilizer that nourishes crops on the family’s land.

María, of San Miguel, Mexico, has been working on her own raising chickens in order to support her family. Her husband recently contracted a disease that has paralyzed his legs. With a loan from Agros, María has been able to continue working her chicken project and is using the funds to send her children to school. Using both the meat and the financial profit from these chickens, her family is healthier and on their way to a better future.
