Food security
Increasing nutritious food, income, and jobs
Many Ugandan children and adults face food security and nutrition challenges resulting from unemployment, lack of access to capital, climate change, disease and the after effects of instability. We address this problem through food security projects, trainings, and support to households.
Rabbit Farm Project
We partnered with local residents who had passion in rabbit farming, to create commercial rabbit farms in kabowa kampala community.
Two rabbit farms have been established so far, each containing 20 rabbit with more female than male .We expect these rabbit to multiply highly since their fertility rate is high, so that every home stead within the community can have rabbits as their source of income. The Rabbit is a dependable source of protein for residents, where before protein had scarce in normal diets, and is also sold throughout East Africa and whole world. The profits are cycled back into the villages, creating a sustainable source of income and jobs.
Livestock and Agriculture Learning Center
Insufficient supplies of food are due to low agricultural yields throughout the country, and lead to poor health, hunger, and malnutrition.
With support from the local community members, our Center is training hundreds of farmers, primarily women, in sustainable agriculture and animal husbandry techniques. It has also introduced new crops and breeds to farmers. As result, we expect increased food security and job opportunities within the community.
