Heifer International and Cargill, in partnership with the national and county governments, recently announced the expansion of Hatching Hope into Kenya. Hatching Hope Kenya will reach 10 million people in its first phase (2019-2022), through a combination of direct support to farmers and consumer-awareness campaigns, contributing to a global goal of improving the nutrition and incomes of 100 million people by 2030.
In Kenya, 1.82 million children suffer from chronic malnutrition – over a quarter of the under-5 population. By working across the poultry supply chain, Hatching Hope Kenya will sustainably improve smallholder farmer incomes and increase the awareness and availability of nutrient-rich chicken and eggs for families in Western Kenya.
