Sensitization meeting with<br />
women in rural homes <br />
What about me??<br />
This was one of the many questions we faced during our last community<br />
sensitization meeting of the project. There has been a lot of drive and momentum<br />
from members of the community of Machakos to increase the enrollment of women<br />
Eggpreneur from 20 to 100, to allow more women to prosper from the project.<br />
Currently, Eggpreneur project is unable to increase the number for this year’s<br />
enrollment, since we are limited by our current schedule and budget. However, this<br />
observation indicates that people are hungry- hungry for employment and financial<br />
independence. A life of poverty is pushing people to act. Once word spreads in<br />
Machakos of a sustainable project, particularly for women, every community member<br />
wants to jump on board. We are optimistic that this project will increase in<br />
enrollment in the new year and allow more women to benefit from the goals of the<br />
project.<br />

Our Next Steps<br />
In the coming months we aim to brood<br />
our birds for 18 weeks until they are<br />
pullets (ready-to-lay hens).We hope to<br />
distribute pullets to Women<br />
Eggpreneurs by December. We look<br />
forward to bringing your our next<br />
quarterly newsletter in December where<br />
we will proudly announce the <strong>2015</strong><br />
targets that have been achieved and our<br />
plans to improve targets that have yet to<br />
be met. To do this, we will continue our<br />
fundraising campaign with current<br />
donors and hope to recruit new<br />
Eggpreneur donors. With your help, we<br />
will be able to reach our objectives with<br />
respect to project finance, resources and<br />
functionality.<br />
We are grateful, to all friends of<br />
Eggpreneur, for your spiritual and<br />
financial support. You have made this<br />
project become a reality for women in<br />
Kenya and we can’t thank you enough.<br />
