The Kwahu Asabi Royal Foundation (KARF), under the leadership of its Founder, Nana Otukwa Mpareko VI, is driving tangible change in youth agriculture across the Afram Plains. Following its participation in the 6th Ghana Poultry Day, an initiative organized by Agrihouse Foundation. KARF received two boxes containing 100-day-old chicks.
Under KARF’s flagship Sankofa Program for Youth in Agriculture, these chicks were immediately distributed among four promising young people in the community to jumpstart their agri-businesses.
From 33 Chicks to a Sustainable Enterprise
Among the beneficiaries is Kofi Yeboah, a vibrant youth who received 33 day-old chicks. Through dedication and proper management, Kofi has successfully raised the flock to maturity, turning a modest donation into a viable, income-generating livelihood. His success stands as a testament to how targeted local interventions can yield immediate economic independence for young people in rural areas.
_”The growth of Kofi’s farm demonstrates the incredible potential of our youth when given the right tools. KARF commends the Agrihouse Foundation for their outstanding vision with Ghana Poultry Day, which made this breakthrough possible,” stated Nana Otukwa Mpareko VI.
