Village of Barchadif with 32 FamilIes
Pre-project situation
Nisur village is one of the remotest villages in Bartang valley.
The village lacks food security, especially in winter time when the only road to the village is closed, and so they cannot get food from Khorog town.
Until now, they were raising chickens and eggs to eat in winter.
But they have now lost the chickens because they were eaten by weasels.
Project Scope Concept
Build 2 chickens coops in Nisur Village. One chicken coop will be used to raise chicken for eggs for Nisur Village and the other one for Barchadif Village.
Items donated by HfP for 2 chicken coops
