One Hen by Katie Smith Milway
After his father died, Kojo had to quit school to help his mother collect firewood to sell at the market. When his mother receives a loan from some village families, she gives a little money to her son. With this tiny loan, Kojo buys a hen. A year later, Kojo has built up a flock of 25 hens. With his earnings Kojo is able to return to school. Soon Kojo's farm grows to become the largest in the region. Kojo's story is inspired by the life of Kwabena Darko, who as a boy started a tiny poultry farm just like Kojo's, which later grew to be the largest in Ghana, and one of the largest in west Africa.Katie Smith Milway, a native of Vancouver, B.C., has worked for Food for the Hungry in Africa and Central America, consulted for World Vision in Senegal on village banking, and was a delegate to the 1992 Earth Summit. She is currently a partner at Boston-based nonprofit consultant The Bridgespan Group, where she has produced books and articles on sustainable development.
