Every six months, a new group of 10-15 boys participates in our comprehensive poultry farming program. They gain practical skills in chicken rearing, including caring for broilers (meat chickens) and layers (egg-laying chickens). Our training covers essential topics such as feed management, animal care, small business operations, and financial literacy courses. This holistic approach ensures they are fully prepared to launch and manage their own poultry businesses.

Upon graduation, each boy receives 10 mature chickens to sell, providing immediate income and a sense of accomplishment. Those interested in continuing poultry farming are also supplied with 12 one-day-old chicks and enough feed to start their own poultry business with their families. This dual approach of offering immediate earnings and long-term entrepreneurship opportunities empowers them to achieve economic independence and sustainability.

The Shule Poultry Project is crucial in improving nutrition for street-connected boys by providing a steady supply of fresh eggs and chicken meat, rich in essential proteins. By selling surplus eggs and chickens at the local market, the project not only sustains itself but also generates income to support other critical programs at Shule, thereby extending our impact.

The Shule Center for Eggsellence is more than just a training program—it’s a life-changing opportunity for street-connected boys. By equipping them with practical skills in poultry farming and business management, we empower them to build sustainable futures. The revenue generated from poultry product sales is reinvested into the center, enabling us to support more boys, improve our programs, and strengthen community resilience.
