Chicken
No one expects to get a chicken. And that’s what makes this such a great gift. The fact that it also provides families in Laos with an income and the ability to start breeding more chickens just makes it even better. It’s only a little but it will change a lot.

How does this gift help?
This chicken is helping families in Laos generate much-needed income. In Laos, Oxfam Australia works to increase access to food by providing families with the initial funds to buy chickens. Households can then use eggs to earn an income at the market or to eat themselves. And, if the chickens breed, families can get more chickens! And more eggs ... and more chickens ... and more eggs ...
“Thanks to the Oxfam Australia project, I have chickens to raise which gives my family food and income. My family has better conditions now and my children have [the same] school materials as other people.” Mrs Mai, Nam Phaene village, Laos.
