Given their feasibility and quick return to the households, the chicken coop backyard kits provided impoverished families not only with a source of food security but also a living income whereby they can sell the surplus egg production in exchange for cash or produce to achieve well-balanced nutrition. With the help of Nusaned’s Roofs That Shield members, a coop design guideline was created based on principles of a circular economy. Nusaned also engaged the beneficiaries in the provision of recycled materials as well as the construction of the coop through sweat equity.
