The project is a micro-lending drive to give one hen and cage to women and youths in the rural areas. In exchange, they return two chicks after six months.

The project was registered in 2010 as a non-governmental organisation named Innovation Empowerment Programme, which seeks to empower low-income earners economically, especially youths and women in groups of between 10 and 30 individuals.
