The IEF has been partnered with the Trustlines Development Network Inc., since 2017 as a sponsor of their Chicken and Egg Project. The partnership has supported around 250 families in some of the most rural communities in Uganda, by providing them with the skills and resources to take care of their own chickens.

The project has had an unparalleled impact on the lives of the children and families involved. A great example of this is 11-year-old Vincent, who received his first hen and rooster in 2020. Since then, he has made enough money through the sales of eggs and chickens to pay for private school education for himself and his younger brother. Vincent, with the support of his mother, has grown his flock from 2 to 120, and recently purchased 420 chicks which he will rear and sell to pay for his first term of school fees in 2023.
