These chickens are an eggs-ellent way to boost someone's income. Families living by Lake Atitlan in Guatemala have a very small amount of land to farm on, so these compact animals are a cracking idea. Their eggs can be sold, they can be fattened for meat and their droppings are used as a fantastic free alternative to chemical fertilisers. And at just £20 for 30 birds they're certainly going cheep!

Stop a failed harvest from becoming a financial crisis by buying a seed bank for a community in India. The bank enables a group of farmers to save up to 10 varieties of drought and pest resistant crops. Individuals take out the seeds on loan in an emergency and then pay the bank back in-kind after their harvest. An ex-seedingly simple idea that offers more security to poor farmers, enabling them to literally grow their investments!

These classes will provide 30 adults with the skills they need to adapt to their changing world, enabling them to run their own profitable small businesses.
