Bertha’s Story

Peru

How it Started

A small backyard egg project that began with five chickens to feed her family more naturally—then grew through local demand as neighbors started asking to buy eggs.

Support

Financial support through Soleran’s sponsorship and the Unbound project, plus training that helped her learn best practices for raising chickens and managing the business.

Results

  • Scaled her flock significantly—able to purchase 200 chickens that will begin laying eggs
  • Improved her facilities by stocking and fixing up her shed and modifying the coop for winter (including coverings and upgrades)
  • Invested in essentials to keep the flock healthy: feeders, waterers, feed, vaccines, and vitamins—resulting in a clean, disinfected coop and stronger disease prevention

Ongoing Impact

Despite current health challenges and ongoing treatment, Bertha is continuing to build the business with her husband and four children—expanding egg production and working toward a stable family livelihood.
