One Hen Project was started by 3 fresh graduates from UoN in 2012. When it was launched, @ntvkenya aired it. It was more a futurologist project. Today, the Keroka-based firm has thousands of chicken and has transformed lives. Those stealing like in the Roysambu incident, wake up.
Through #NdotoZetuUwezoWetu, we are helping self-help groups across the country realise their dreams by empowering them to earn more from their income generating projects. Here are some of the stories from Nyanza region #SafaricomForYou

James says, “My stay at the University of Texas impacted my work immensely… I created a network of friends not only among other Fellows but also Texas community members who have been supporting with technical advice and linking me to other opportunities.” @UTAustin
Through the Fellowship's #ReciprocalExchange component, one connection from Austin traveled to Kenya to assist James in implementing his One Hen campaign. James said the reciprocal exchange re-affirmed for customers and stakeholders that
the "project is recognized globally."
Since the Fellowship, James has spoken about One Hen’s success at a number of livestock conferences, including African Youth Agripreneurs and Financing for Development. Great work, James! @ECAatState@USAIDAfrica@USEmbassyKenya#ExchangeOurWorld
@onehencampaign works with women and youth to raise chicken. They are a vital source of livelihood in rural Kenya. They provide eggs as well as meat: vital sources of protein for the family and can easily be sold for cash when needed to cover basic household needs @TIKA_PKO_KENYA
