Maziko a Moyo: Transforming Lives through Poultry Farming

Welcome to Maziko a Moyo (Foundation of Life)

This project by the Ekwendeni Women Dawa Organization (EWDO) is more than just a poultry farming initiative it’s a lifeline for women, youth, and vulnerable groups in Malawi. By expanding our local chicken farming operations, we are empowering communities, combating food insecurity, and creating sustainable livelihoods.
