PROJECT: From Snake Charmer to Chicken Farmer

The snake catcher community is looking for a new sustainable way to generate income, since snake catching is not allowed anymore under Indian law.

The project aims to provide the community with poultry (mainly chickens), train them in breeding, feeding and marketing, thus developing a new means of income.

We plan to enable the snake snatchers community to become
self-supporting by initially providing each with a number of chickens, feed and materials for a hen house.

Each family will also be given detailed training in smallholder poultry farming and marketing.
