Sidai Chicken Farm and the SHEEP INITIATIVE

November 2023 UPDATE

The Sheep Initiative

Early 2022 our local contacts in Loita (South West Kenya) and Lila Foundation identified a new opportunity to facilitate community and entrepreneurial empowerment. We drafted what would be needed to start with small scale sheep farming and started a pilot. In this pilot we provided a family with 8 pregnant sheep, a sheep barn, approximately 3 months of sheep food, a first vaccination and deworming scheme and the support of an experienced local sheep farmer.

After a certain period the two pilot project had grown to over 22 sheep each, while already delivering milk, meet and wool. Moreover, upon occasions the two project could offer sheep to other farmers. 

In autumn 2023 Lila Foundation added 8 new projects to what we now call THE SHEEP INITIATIVE. In total 10 families are participating in the SHEEP INITIATIVE, with a flock of sheep that could be as large as over 200 in the next 18 months.   

Thanks to new donations, this could be accomplished.
