all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

How the gift of a chicken transformed Minenhle’s life

In 2021, World Vision gave five-year-old Minenhle a chicken – a simple act that sparked a remarkable transformation. Now nine, Minenhle’s story illustrates the value of sustainable community support and the life-changing difference a charity gift can make. 

Living with her grandparents in Eswatini, Minenhle's life was a daily struggle, with no stable income and minimal resources. But that single chicken changed everything. Over time, the flock grew, providing financial stability and nourishment. By early 2024, the family owned 43 chickens, with her grandmother selling some to buy a goat, fund Minenhle's education, and secure other essentials.

Minenhle dreams of becoming a businesswoman, saying: "My family will never go to bed hungry". Minenhle's story is a testament to how a small gift can lead to lasting change, providing not just resources but hope and a brighter future.

You can gift a child like Minenhle a life-changing pair of chickens for only £21.
