Hi All!
So you’re probably wondering what why this post is entitled chickens. Well, it turns out that one of the social businesses in which YSB has invested, a poultry farm, is having its grand opening this Saturday, October 26th, in Mirebalais. This social business is really awesome in that it is not only producing Haitian grown chicken (which is mainly imported from the Dominican Republic) and creating 16 jobs, but it is using its profits to cover operating costs for a local school, which 200 students will be attending! This business was also partly funded by USAID and will also be part of the celebration. There are two more poultry farms that will have their grand openings in the next coming weeks in Leogane and Lagonave. It’s so exciting to see our social business endeavors bearing fruit (or chickens in this case)!
I’ll be sure to post pictures after the event. Take a look at the invitation.
