The Nigeria Poultry Project  
supported by                   
Hope for Nigeria            
Saskatchewan             

In November 2006, a Nigerian minister, Isaac Akiyomo, came to Saskatchewan. While visiting, he told of the plight of rural Nigerians who cannot borrow money to get any farming operations started. Poultry farmer and supporter of CVMCanada’s Sierra Leone Poultry Project, Charles Goossen, had the idea that perhaps a similar project would work in Nigeria.       

“If anyone has material possessions
and sees his brother in need but
has no pity on him, how can the love
of God be in him?”
-1 John 3:17

WHO WE ARE
Hope for Nigeria Saskatchewan is a committee of five members, all of whom are either currently active in the poultry business or have been in the past, and are committed to raising funds and managing the Nigeria Poultry Project. CVMCanada, in collaboration with a self help group of Christian Nigerians (the Mennonite Brethren Charity Organization, MBCO) and Christian Veterinarians Nigeria (CVN), is helping to oversee the project. In August 2007, Charles and Conrad Van Dijk (Executive Director, CVMCanada) made an investigative trip to Nigeria to meet with local Nigerians, locate suppliers of chicks and feed, and investigate the market for eggs and/or poultry. Further investigative trips have been made by Charles and plans continue to form.

WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT
The present goal of Hope for Nigeria is to assist poor families in Nigeria to establish and operate small, successful poultry farms.
