Anil Adhikari

Anil is 14 years old in 2016 when his father died at the age of 38 in Qatar where he worked at the Khalifa football stadium. As an orphan he lived on the streets for few years where he taught himself to speak English. He was picked up by a small NGO who gave him a place to live in a small apartment in Hetauda which he had to share with some other youngsters. We met Anil in 2022 when he was 20 years old. He told us the impressive story of how he had to pick-up the coffin of his father as a young boy when he was returned from Qatar.

Despite his bad memories Anil remained positive and told us about his dreams of owning his own chicken farm. Although a lot of his friends left Nepal to work abroad Anil promised himself never to leave Nepal, in honor if his father. We kept contact with Anil and helped him with his business plan and the start of his business. In November 2023 we visited Anil for the second time. He was at the start of his own chicken farm. The materials were already there and the start-up was born.

In April 2024 the first chicken arrived and Anil’s chicken farm was up and running. Click on the play buttons in the picture to get an impression of the chicken farm!
