We are currently working on several agricultural projects to promote the local economy and people’s independence.
Poultry Farming
Our next step is to set up a poultry farm where income is generated to support other activities such as sponsorships and community programs.
Examples:
- for outstanding school fees, school materials, school uniforms for the children whose school attendance we support
- for school materials and school uniforms for disadvantaged children from our village in Kasambya
- for necessary medical care for the disadvantaged children in our village in Kasambya.
We would like to keep different types of chicken on our chicken farm:
- chicks that we raise up and feed for 6 weeks to sell them as broilers to restaurants, hotels and private individuals.
- local chicken that lay eggs to sell on the one hand and on the other hand to grow our farm by giving birth to new chicks.
- turkeys that we want to keep so that we can sell them during the Christmas season.
Farming
Also a next step is to grow our own food. On the one hand to be able to provide for ourselves and on the other hand to be able to supply surrounding schools with food from the surplus.
For this step we need various types of seeds and gardening and work tools.
We are happy to keep you up to date on how our agricultural projects are progressing in our blog.
Of course, we would be delighted if you could make a donation to help us get a little closer to realising these projects.
