Days 5 & 6 -  Give back days - Chicken Coop Project 

 

Over these two days, you’ll take part in a hands-on community development project in partnership with Bright Future Foundation, an organisation dedicated to supporting children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Many of these children are raised through kinship care, where relatives or close community members open their homes and hearts to provide a stable and loving environment.

​

Our focus during this project is to support the families who care for these children.
Your main activity for these two days will be building a sustainable chicken coop for one of the kinship families supported by the foundation. Working side by side with local builders, community members, and our guides, you’ll help with tasks such as: Preparing the foundation, constructing the wooden frame, securing wire mesh and roofing and strengthening the structure.
Once the coop is complete, we will provide a set of healthy starter chickens, which will be donated to the host family. This small but meaningful contribution helps strengthen their household income and long-term food security.
During breaks from construction, you’ll also have lunch and the opportunity to learn more about kinship care in Tanzania, and hear firsthand how Bright Future Foundation is transforming lives within the community.
