Exciting milestone for @SightandLife. The new SAL-Alema poultry research center in Ethiopia supports #innovative #climate-adaptive applications leveraging private sector investment and know how transforming #smallholder agriculture.

[Sight and Life @SightandLife]

Last week, we opened a new facility in Bishoftu, Ethiopia 🇪🇹🎊

It will test and evaluate poultry feed for quality control, research on better feed composition, and help detect and prevent disease outbreak in birds. 🐓

This research center aims to: 🔬
1️⃣ Reduce bird mortality, improve egg quality 🥚
2️⃣ Increase farmer productivity and incomes 🧑🏾‍🌾💰

Many thanks to our partners @CIFFchild, Alema farms and @SNVEthiopia, and huge congrats to our very own SAL Team Ethiopia for the SAL-ALEMA Poultry Research Center! 👏🏾

#OneEggPerChildEveryDay

1 Egg 🥚
= 1 multivitamin
= high-quality protein & 13 essential vitamins & minerals, including choline for brain growth.
+ breastmilk = nearly 100% daily recommended required nutrients for an infant.

[KG van Zutphen-Küffer @Kessogabrielle]

About to start reading this & fully agree with the abstract. EAT-Lancet diet has too little ASF and too much phytate-rich plant foods. This is exactly why we at @SightandLife are working to⬆��� the #availability #consumption of #eggs and #phytase-based food products!

[Kalpana Beesabathuni @KBeesabathuni]

@sufiaa @OsendpNutrition @ParulChristian @DrEmilyRSmith @sarahcgibson4 Thank you, Sufia! Your unwavering dedication to ending hunger and malnutrition in the world is truly inspiring to many of us. Happy #IWD2023

...an eggciting milestone for us!

[Sight and Life @SightandLife]

We are moving towards the day when our newest #EggHub becomes operational in #Ethiopia! February was a busy month for Sight and Life Ethiopia as the team, along with our partners @SNVEthiopia did rigorous inspections and interviews to select #farmer partners to start the Egg Hub.

[Kalpana Beesabathuni @KBeesabathuni]

Such great news👌Eggs and livestock derived foods are a powerhouse of protein, micronutrients and much more, essential for child growth and development.

[ST & SC Development Department @scstdevdept]

Three years. After long, I feel present. He's with me - a battery, a pillow, a spine. Today, I'll remember his unending love for this country, and use it to fight against my own fear of what's happening to it. Love is courage, he taught me. I wish us all an abundance of both.
