GHNI teaches how to implement the Transformational Community Development (TCD) program in the community we live in. Occasionally it is really hard because there are not enough resources, but that is where our partners come in. We love partnering! That is why “Network” is in our name—Global Hope NETWORK International.

Together with several local partners, we led projects in nine villages. 200 families were trained by a veterinarian on how to care for chickens. As a result, 163 families received 35 laying hens each, for free. This will help families eat affordable protein, since meat is a luxury for many now. My husband, Zhanysh, represents this organization, sells feed, and consults people every day. He teaches them how to take care of, feed, and keep other breeds of chickens in the future. We were able to cover nine villages. Using the TCD principles, we worked with the village elders and became friends. This project opened many doors to people’s homes. This is a marathon that we will run for at least 1.5 years, which is the chickens’ average lifespan.

Thank you!
