On the 1st of September 2016 Evangelista Chekera decided to bring her childhood ideas into life and started working on Passion Poultry. She designed and innovated the slaughtering device that eases the process of slaughtering chickens. In order to distribute this device efficiently she partnered with Novatek Feeds, Profeeds and Henn Chick. Later that year she registered the company as a Private Business Corporation. In 2017 she co-created the chick brooding device with farmers who were experiencing high chick mortality rate and decided to work with a team to grow the business. In 2021 the chick brooding device was awarded a grant by the Tony Elumelu Foundation and the company was later registered as a Private Limited Company. Today Passion Poultry works with over 500 farmers and has partnered with other startups such as Musika Express for distribution, Takura for logistics, Fast D for logistics and Tofara Online for digital marketing and local fabricators for production of equipment. Poultry maintains a culture of research and innovation in designing convenient and affordable equipment aimed at improving the quality of poultry being produced by small scale farmers in Africa. The Passion Poultry team is supported by a 3 member advisory board with expertise in Business Development, Accounting, Human Resources and Law.
