Women in some parts of Zaka, led by entrepreneur Sarah Phineas Munemo have taken an initiative to breed free-range chickens,a project likely to boost the economy of Masvingo province, if not the country at large.

The chickens are easy to breed because they feed from readily available feeds found in rural areas.

These women have found an escape from the impending hunger looming in the province due to very low rainfall last season.

Over 1000 Zaka women have been initiated in this project.
