Microsoft founder bill gates announced the launch of a massive campaign of growing chickens with the aim to help the poorest countries of tropical Africa.

Gates promised to give the region of 100 thousand chickens. According to him, the breeding and selling of birds can be efficient and fast way of dealing with poverty.

On the project page notes that breeding chickens is inexpensive and a profitable business for poor families, and eggs are especially useful for children.

“It may seem funny, but I really like the idea of chickens,” said gates.

According to the estimates of a billionaire, a farmer, having only five chickens, three months later can increase that number to 40, and his annual income may exceed $ 1,000 (when the poverty threshold of $ 700 per year).

The aim of the project is to help 30% of rural households in sub-Saharan Africa to grow healthy, vaccinated chickens. Now doing this only about 5% of families.

A year ago, gates announced plans for the construction of a network of medical institutions in the countries of Asia and Africa to reduce child mortality and to prevent outbreaks like the Ebola virus.
