What you need to know:

  • Central to the sacco success was the inauguration of a slaughterhouse capable of handling 1,000 birds daily.

  • With NARIGP’s support, Kicopo underwent a metamorphosis, bolstered by an infusion of capital and expertise.

In the heart of Mulango ward, Kitui County, is a tale of entrepreneurial spirit and community empowerment that can be traced back to 2013.

It was born out of the shared ambition of a group of chicken farmers, who recognised what collective action could do.
