“If women had the same access to productive resources as men, they could increase yields on their farms by 20–30% for crops as well as livestock.”*

A transformational model to replicate

“Since the birds were vaccinated, none have died...Our flock has grown again and we now have lots of birds. We have just sold six chickens and made a whopping profit…The income means that we can afford to educate our children and buy them proper food and decent clothes.”
