Bill Gates tells us what he would do if he only earned $2 a day.

It is considered one of the richest men in the world, with $89 billion in assets. But what if he suddenly found himself poor? Bill Gates, on a blog, has explained to his readers what he would do if he would only earn two dollars a day. Maybe he said he'd use them to raise birds.

There is no single answer, of course, and poverty differs depending on the country. But thanks to working with my foundation, I met some of the world's poorest countries growing chickens and learned a lot about pros and the cons of keeping these animals. For anyone living in poverty, it would be good to have some”.

The reason has said immediately: chickens do not demand large sources of purchase and management, they are easy to hold, and eggs and meat are very good food for people. In addition, they are a good investment because they constantly generate profits. “Imagine a grower starting with five chickens that's enough a borrowed cock may be from a neighbour, and after three months the same breeder finds himself with 40 birds he says on blog if everyone sells at $5, the profit will be more than $ 1,000 per year”.

According to Gates, turkeys and chickens are also useful in giving more power to women. “Pulats are small and often live near houses, so they are often seen as animals at the competence of women”, the billionaire said. “The women that sell these animals can reinvest profits in their families”.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has helped the poorest parts of the population for years, is committed to spreading these precious animals for survival. Along with Heifer International, an association that gives livestock to needy families on the planet, the Gates foundation aims to help at least 30% of sub-Saharan African families grow birds. / BILIE RH.l.
