We visited the two women’s groups that Liseli Initiative is empowering in Kazungula with the support of Kitchen Table Charities Trust (KTCT)
What we saw today was more than just chicken coops.
Over the past three weeks, these women have rolled up their sleeves, picked up their tools, and worked together to prepare the infrastructure for their poultry project. One group built their coop from the ground up, while the other took an unfinished structure and breathed new life into it. 🐓🔨
There was something deeply inspiring about seeing the women working on a project that they can truly call their own.
We believe empowerment is not simply about giving people resources. It is about creating opportunities where people can participate, contribute, take ownership, and ultimately become the drivers of their own transformation.
And these women are already showing us that they are ready.
Their commitment, enthusiasm, and willingness to contribute their own labour have given us even greater confidence in what this project can become. Today’s spot check was a powerful reminder that when communities are given the opportunity and the right support, they can build remarkable things for themselves.
This poultry project is still at the beginning, but we see the possibility of income. We see greater independence. We see women gaining confidence and new skills. We see opportunities for their families. And most importantly, we see hope. 🌱❤️
We are incredibly grateful to Kitchen Table Charities Trust for supporting this initiative and believing in the potential of these women.
The journey has just begun, but we are excited to walk alongside them as they build, grow, and transform their lives—one chicken coop at a time. 🐔💪🏾
This is empowerment. This is ownership. This is community-led change.
