Some 120 residents from several communities in Region Six received 20 black giant chickens each to help them become self-sufficient, and increase their poultry output.
The distribution exercise was held at the ministry’s sub-office at Tarlogie, along the Corentyne Coast on Saturday, the Department of Public Information (DPI) said.
Beneficiaries who spoke with DPI expressed their readiness to undertake the initiative to support their families.
