Product Description
Inspired by true events, One Hen tells the story of Kojo, a boy from Ghana who turns a small loan into a thriving farm and a livelihood for many. After his father died, Kojo had to quit school to help his mother collect firewood to sell at the market. When his mother receives a loan from some village families, she gives a little money to her son. With this tiny loan, Kojo buys a hen. A year later, Kojo has built up a flock of 25 hens. With his earnings Kojo is able to return to school. Soon Kojo's farm grows to become the largest in the region. Kojo's story is inspired by the life of Kwabena Darko, who as a boy started a tiny poultry farm just like Kojo's, which later grew to be the largest in Ghana, and one of the largest in west Africa. Kwabena also started a trust that gives out small loans to people who cannot get a loan from a bank. One Hen shows what happens when a little help makes a big difference. The final pages of One Hen explain the microloan system and include a list of relevant organizations for children to explore. One Hen is part of CitizenKid: A collection of books that inform children about the world and inspire them to be better global citizens.

Magnificent resource,
By Ele Math "EleM" (Vancouver, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One Hen: How One Small Loan Made a Big Difference (Hardcover)
This book with its' powerful message is a wonderful resource for many ages, not just the posted age 7 - 9, and for many subject areas. It is very suitable for anyone who has to deal with topics of Mathematics, Social Responsbility, Global Citizenship and/or Community. Based on a real life situation in Ghana it tells the story of one young boy who had an idea and was able to make a difference in his family, immediate community village and country. I think it should have a second sub title, "The Power of One"

As a teacher, I find this story's compelling plot suitable and inspiring for all ages. Each of us could make a difference by donating a small farm animal at gift giving times and forgoing one luxury present. Just think of the lives that would be changed!
