The UK's High Commissioner for Tanzania visited our poultry business in Iringa in Tanzania on Friday. Complimenting the project, he said, "Really impressed with Silverlands Tanzania, especially their outreach and training programme, which is transforming the lives of women in rural communities". Silverlands Tanzania is working with 99,100 smallholder poultry farmers, some 80% of whom are women, helping these farmers sustainably increase their incomes by over $40m per annum. The project has been a success financially and is a case study in impact investing - delivering an attractive return for investors at the same time as achieving a substantial social and climate impact.
