Poultry Farming for Survivors was the focus of my project, which has impressively impacted gender-based violence survivors in the Bali Nyonga community. It is certainly a success story to realize that most of the women I trained now own businesses. The businesses make them less dependent on their husbands or others for the supply of their needs. Even from this single experience, I can assert that Nkumu Fed Fed through its European Union-sponsored project has done marvellously well in training and empowering me to empower others.

This empowerment came from the opportunity given to me to be trained as a GBV ambassador. I was not the lone benefactor, for my community benefited much through my educating them on gender-based violence, the various types, where to report perpetrators, where to take survivors, and the preventive measures to take. Beyond being informed, they were empowered by being trained in a means of livelihood, precisely poultry farming.

Who would not rejoice at the wonderful feedback where most of the people I trained started an economic activity that is flourishing and ameliorating their lives? Nkumu Fed Fed opened the gates of these benefits and I can never be able to thank it enough for the opportunity to explore and render impacting community service. It is my fond desire that they continue funding a continuation of such transforming economic activities
