How will donations get used ?

Elementary Class in Canaan3 School
Donations made in 2019 will be used to build and establish the 1000 hen source flock in Canaan and if funds permit, place systems at new schools.
The 5 Beta Systems in place are consistently producing 80 eggs per day, 2400 per month and over 28,000 eggs per year. About 50% of these eggs are being fed directly to students at the school and the others being sold to local vendors to raise money for paying teaching staff and they’re also making local jobs.
Incubation / Solar Power systems capable of hatching 4500 chicks per year are in place and functioning.
What is TNEP? How is Urban Coop Company involved?
TNEP was formed by the family that founded Urban Coop Company. Urban Coop Company (UCCO) has a no profit supply agreement with TNEP and provides system design, expert support and executive leadership to TNEP at no cost. UCCO also has provided start-up cash funding for TNEP and plans to set aside meaningful portions of its sales to further TNEP’s mission.
But make no mistake… as generous as the team at UCCO has been with their time and knowledge, UCCO is a very small company and can donate 10’s of thousands of dollars per year when it will take Millions of dollars to achieve TNEP’s goals. We need your help.
What is the plan for the future?
What is a Sustain Poultry™ system and what is it comprised of?
- Four patent pending garbage composting bins called Grub Cones™ that convert garbage into chicken feed… Black Soldier Fly Grubs
- Specially bred Leghorn layer hens and roosters
- A purpose built coop with built-in watering systems
- Incubation & Brooding systems
The self-sustained self-regenerating small flock egg farm is provided directly to an end user and operates in about a 4-by-4 meter space. Each system is capable of producing about 44,000 eggs (about a dozen per day) over its 10-year service life and takes a person about an hour per day to maintain. Some meat is provided for but is not considered a primary goal of the system as the chickens themselves are very small bodied as specifically bred as layers.
