1.0 BACKGROUND

Museset Women Development Group is a local women group in NANDIHILLS sub-


county in Nandi East district in Nandi –Kenya , established to improve the welfare of
women and families in Kenya through commercial income generating enterprises.
The group was established in 01/08/2016 and it has now 17 registered members with
over 30 more women applying for membership. With the establishment of the women in
Nandi sub-county who are the main care takers of their families hope to increase their
family income and supporting their children. Over 92% of women in Kenya are small
scale farmers who are under absolute poverty but have the drive to work only restricted
by capital.

2.0 The strategies of the Women Group poultry project include the
Following:

 Improve the economic condition of the MWDG members as well as other sectors
of society as a whole.

 Train the women in income generative activities in order to generate enough


money to support their families.
 To set up a women demonstration center where women will meet to train and
Seek information.
 Train women farmers to acquire more efficient management skills in agricultural
production, harvesting, storage, processing and marketing.
 Help women farmers to objectively focus on the needs of the family and the
demands of the market and promote high value market-oriented crops and
animals.
 Providing improved varieties of planting materials and breeds of animals that
are quick maturing and high yielding under average systems of management.
 Community mobilization and sensitization of the people to actively participate
in the various project components. In particular to encourage women farmers to
voluntarily form small farmer groups/associations and societies based on the
interest they themselves have in each enterprise.
 Assist the government and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in the
campaign in relation to organic farming and, in caring, protecting and preserving
natural resources and the environment for sustainable development.

3.0 JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT


There is an increasing demand for poultry meat, eggs and pork not only in Kenya but
also in the great Lakes region because of general improvement of standard of living of
the people. Currently there is a lot of export of eggs from Nandi to other counties
Unfortunately official export figure could not be easily obtained.
Poultry are some of the most promising enterprises in the Kenya
livestock sector. This is because they require little space and relatively small initial
capital per unit head compared to other livestock enterprises.
There is easy availability of day-old chicks as well as animal drugs on the market.
MWDG can get Qualified veterinary personnel who are available down to sub-county
level.
