It's simple.  How do you give once that will empower for a lifetime?  Start something that is sustainable and reproducible!  Through ForgottenSong's poultry project model, we believe that an entire country can be changed through smart, well-planned initiatives that organically reproduce without constant fundraising and financial upkeep.  Chickens do just that.  Through existing community associations in Burundi and a proven poultry project in Uganda (see video), we will be able to sustainably impact over 84,000 people through a well organized and accountable reproductive model.  Find out more at www.forgottensong.org!

How it works? The chickens & eggs serve as an immediate and sustainable source of nutrition to combat malnutrition and hunger, while the poultry farm as a small business serves as a sustainable source of income for the entire community, each family having its own invested stake in the farm.  In Burundi, our intricate network of communities through national non-profit FVS-Amade is the means and mechanics of reproduction.  Once one community receives a farm, they give to another community which then gives back to them and forward to a new farm.  It's a pay-it-forward system and is set up to foster exponential multiplication so that 1200 communities will be not only fed, but have their own new small business.
