Bienvenu successful in poultry farming - Zakpota, Benin

Bienvenu Ijeme (43 years old) and his wife Justine Azangbe (41 years old) live in the village of Dovi. Bienvenu has been keeping chickens, turkeys and rabbits for a long time. Since the opening of the Epicenter of The Hunger Project (THP)in Zakpote he has been able to expand his business. “With the loans of THP’s credit bank I can buy more poultry, as well as the necessary feed for them. I already knew quite a bit about poultry farming, but the workshops at the Epicenter in Zakpota added to my knowledge in that department. This way I now know even better what my animals need to stay in good health. In addition, I have learned to read and write, and how to keep the books. So now I can keep track of how my business is going, and owing to my improved insight into the bookkeeping I am in a better position to grow with my business.”
