KAZIRA PROJECTS

KAZIRA POULTRY KEEPING PROJECT


In April 2012, Kazira Orphans Project started to establish a chicken farming project that would provide food for the orphans, vocational training for the orphans and an income for the community.  This would allow Charles orphanage to embark on a business venture to bring a sustainable income to the community and in turn fully support the orphan home and the orphans that reside there.

This farming project includes a two-story chicken/egg production buildings that will house 2,000 chickens, a caretaker's home that will also serve as the farm office,  and a variety of vegetables to be harvested on a regular basis.  The produce, eggs, and chickens that are not needed to feed the orphans will be sold or bartered in the local markets for additional provisions.  This farming initiative is a win-win situation because it will allow the orphans to enjoy a more nutritious and varied diet as well as a badly needed income to support other expenses from the orphan home.  And $14,300 is needed to fully develop this farming plot.
The first phase of development for the farming plot is the construction of the security wall around the farm plot and the pit latrine.  Each of the 11,000 blocks will be made by hand and formed with the block making machine.   The second phase of the self-sustaining chicken project will be to build the two-story chicken coop, and  the final phase is to construct a caretaker's home that will also serve as the office for the chicken farm.
Are you interested to help the project and be part of it?
