A CHICKEN FOR THE FUTURE/UNA GALLINA PER IL FUTURO
OMUTUKUVU (here facebook page ) is a project born in 2016 in the small village of Maiyrinia, in rural Uganda, that aims to establish a self-sustainable development in agriculture, education, energy and water to build improved, sustainable socio-economic conditions for the thousands of people in the community.
With the help of volunteers from all over the world, OMUTUKUVU’s vision was built based on the most urgent needs of Mayrinya (water, energy, agriculture) and paired with the most sustainable solutions to meet these needs (solar pump for raising water from a well, permaculture projects, building of classrooms with local people).
Together with local people of Mayirinya and the teachers who are going to be teaching at our school, we designed the "Poultry project" to start raising chickens in the village and selling eggs to local markets. Indeed the main objective of the project is to produce an income for the village, that will drive our school towards a self-sustainable development by paying teachers' salaries.
We have identified a market for eggs in Nankoma town, Mayuge town and Bugiri town, which are in high demand of eggs and where we can sell all the eggs daily (even the damaged ones can be sold at a lower price at the moment).
We plan to invest in 600 layer chickens, such that after 6 months we'll begin making profits by selling eggs. Our estimate will allow us to sell 500 eggs (20 trays) on a daily basis, leading to a profit of 200,000/=. This will help to pay teachers salaries and people working in the poultry project/farm, making it a sustainable project for OMUTUKUVU in Mayirinya.
