Depuis combien de temps le projet existe-t-il ?
En place depuis 1 à 5 ans
Le besoin : quel problème tentez-vous de résoudre ?
Levels of poverty and unemployment are very high.There is a general lack of business skills,lack of skills to do farming as a business and poor access of credit.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
Form self help groups.Train them for 3 months on poultry management, entrepreneurship, agribusiness, financial management, adaptation to climate change, value chain and addition.We award each with a Certificate and a hen and cage. From One hen one moves to a goat to a cow then to owning major businesses after one year and this in turn has not only created employment for himself but also others. When we give hens to youths in a given village we help them come up with a Village Agrovet where they buy and sell chicken feeds, drugs and other items to the group members and villagers at a large.Making the cages, we have devolutionalized it to the village level where all what is needed we acquire it within the territory of our self help groups.i.e. Labour, timber, wire-mesh and nails. The youths in a village who make cages are paid.We have Savings and credit cooperative for members where they do micro-saving of an egg per day and after regularly saving for one accesses microloan.
Le système : décrivez un exemple spécifique montrant de quelle façon votre initiative fonctionne ; indiquez vos principales activités.
A member who is in a registered group is trained for 3 months on poultry management ,farming as a business and financial management.Then when he/she graduates is given a certificate, one hen and cage to rear as per the trainings and make it profitable within a year.Over this period a member does micro-savings to one hen sacco called Sky sacco Society ltd owned by the beneficiaries after 3 months is given a micro-loan to expand the business.
After 6 months one who was given 1 hen surrenders 2 pullets(once) for onward lending and sustainability of the project.Research has shown us that the "most careless farmer" given one hen for a whole year it will give him/her 100 hens! a farmer that we have trained exceeds 100 hens in one year. One hen goes at Kshs.400 multiplied by 100 hens is Kshs. 40,000 per year equivalent to a dairy cow. One can graduate from owning a hen, a goat, cow then big businesses out there.
Le marché : qui sont vos collègues et vos concurrents ? Identifiez les autres personnes qui travaillent à répondre au même besoin et indiquez ce qui vous différencie d'elles. Comment ces concurrents pourraient-ils influencer votre réussite ou votre croissance ?
Our competitors are the already established microfinance organisations who have a huge revolving fund to advance as loans to members compared to ours which is small that at times we dont meet demand from our members.
Other organisations that are rearing indigenous hens in large scale. We scramble for markets. But with availability of resources we have cut a niche that no one can easily outdo us because our poultry business is coupled with trainings to members, the risk is well spread as members rear hens individually and we support them financially through the sacco to expand the business.

Jusqu'à ce jour, quels résultats a obtenu votre projet ?
Over 3,000 direct and indirect jobs created, such as cage-makers, village agrovets, and chicken butchers.
In a village with approximately 500 people, about 70 new enterprises emerge when we start a youth and women group.
So far we have advanced micro-loans to a tune of Kshs. 5,000,000 to village youth and women groups in rural Kenya with 85% repayment rate.We have also a risk management credit life cover for loanees
Improved nutrition from eating highly nutritious indigenous chicken meat and eggs. This can be shown by medical reports from local dispensaries. Members who have benefitted from our project show a stable and promising state of health as opposed to those from those areas where we have not exploited. For example chicken meat is classified as white meat and is usually prescribed for diabetic patients.
Qualitatively, the One Hen Campaign has created the culture of self reliance among the youths, going beyond chicken farming to other income generating activities.
Quelles sont vos prévisions en termes d'impact au cours des trois prochaines années?

Création de l'organisation : nous voulons tout savoir sur votre déclic. Expliquez-nous oú et quand les fondateurs se sont rendu compte que cette solution possédait un véritable potentiel pour changer le monde.
Me and my 3 colleagues in campus at The University of Nairobi school of business the year 2009 searched for internship for 3 holidays but all was in vain. We sat down and counted our misfortunes of unsuccessfully seeking internship and we asked ourselves what about a job? and then we thought of how we can create employment for ourselves and others. We then mooted the idea of starting small through the micro-savings we had from our Higher Education Loan. We thought of giving youths and women in villages a loan in form of an indigenous hen and a cage and after 6 months they return 2 pullets(once)for onward lending and sustainability,before we could start we sold the idea to one of the farmers(Philip)we met in the village he was extremely excited with the idea. We decided to pilot with him within 6 months he had amazing results with 65hens! which he subsequently sold and bought a cow. As we speak today is a role model and our field manager his story has inspired thousands who have joined.
