This document describes an egg farming business started by three families - the Marques, Mutangaras, and Tansers - in Mozambique. They constructed coops to house chickens that would lay eggs. Over 15 months, their business grew to include lots of chicks, chickens, and the production of 1.6 million eggs. Their goal was to start a profitable business that would create jobs, allow for church planting, and transform their community by combating poverty.
