Tevel’s Poultry Farming Initiative creates reliable, additional income for village households by combining hands-on training and essential veterinary services.
We teach villagers to produce their own feed and build secure, well-ventilated hen houses, provide critical veterinary care, operate a brooding house that protects chicks during their first four weeks, and run a solar-powered incubator that increases hatch rates by 30% while allowing hens to continue laying.
The project raises free-range village chickens for market and strengthens existing smallholder enterprises by supplying three-week-old chicks and technical support so farmers can expand flocks, improve husbandry, and boost food security and livelihoods. Beginning November 2025 Tevel will expand the broiler program: 12 farmers will collectively raise 2,000 broilers, three former Youth Service Providers (YSPs) will raise 700 broilers, and our poultry hub will house 4,000 broilers as a combined demonstration and production facility.
