Chirpy Chicken
£9.00
A Chirpy Chicken provides fresh eggs for protein, a steady income, and brighter futures.
Chickens can be a life-changing addition to a family in rural Africa. Not only do they provide nutrient-packed eggs, any surplus can also be sold in the community for a vital income. Chickens are a particularly good option for families looking to make quick improvements to their farm as they’re easy to manage and need little space. Their droppings make great compost for richer soil and thriving crops.
Your gift empowers mothers like Christine.
Since joining a Ripple Effect project, Christine’s farm has flourished. With an abundance of vegetables and eggs from their chickens, her family no longer worries about where their next meal will come from. Together with her husband, they’ve planted trees in the chicken enclosure to enrich the soil, provide shade, and supply firewood from the branches. Their children are healthy and on track to complete school and go on to university.

Why your gift has lasting impact
A Ripple Effect gift isn't a handout; it’s an opportunity. Your gift helps us reach some of the poorest families in rural Africa, enabling them to grow nutritious food, earn a living, and build secure futures.
We focus on long-term impact rather than short-term gains, and on support that's practical and relevant.
Our locally-based teams train families to:
- Farm sustainably and protect their land.
- Include everyone in the household and share tasks fairly.
- Develop their small businesses and financial independence.
Farming families are so committed to change that they share what they learn and grow with others. This creates a ripple effect that transforms communities far beyond our programmes.
About your gift:
- How we use your gift: wherever the need is greatest across the countries we work in, making a huge difference to the lives of families in rural Africa.
- Gift cards and other items: sent via Royal Mail 2nd Class post within five working days of receiving your order.
- E-gift cards: sent directly to the recipient on the date you choose.
