CS197 SELF EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY-POULTRY FARM

With two young children aged 2 years and 6 months, respectively, this couple managed to keep their little family afloat through the revenue from their chicken farm.

After the recent flood in Puttalam, however, their source of income was severely damaged. Having lost most of their chickens and 2 ducks to the flood — while the few remaining died from phlegm day by day —, they struggled to provide for themselves and their young children.

We at Carestation were able to provide them with hens and roosters (worth LKR 17,000) to help replenish their chicken farm, and their source of income.

In these times, when the country’s cost of living is so steep, it is important that we look out for each other and help where we can. For people who are already struggling with finances, losses like this can be devastating.
