FULLY FUNDED Nyakiyumbu Peanut Farm
Tax deductible
FULLY FUNDED! NO MORE FUNDS NEEDED!
Nyakiyumbu is a small, rural, impoverished Uganda village just ten miles from the Congo border. It has a high percentage of widows and orphans, partially due to frequent invasions of rebel militias like M23 and the Islamist ADF.
Malaria, AIDS, and hepatitis also contribute to the region's high death. Many are also killed poaching for food, in nearby Queen Elizabeth Park.
(Nyakiyumbu widows)
Brighter Brains Institute (BBI) - a USA humanist nonprofit - has provided assistance to the Nyakiyumbu widows since 2014.
The Nyakiyumbu Widow’s current plan for economic stability is to start a Peanut Farm on a half hectare of land. Profits would pay for the school tuition of the orphans attending their humanist school. Funds would also pay the teachers, and provide lunch food for students.
(students at Nyakiyumbu Widows Orphanage Humanist School)
Peanuts are a traditional food of the Bakonzo tribe that in Nyakiyumbu. The legume is pounded, boiled, salted and served in a “groundnut sauce ” with chickpeas, rice, potatoes, or goat meat.
Budget is:
$337 — tools, seeds, fertilizer
$1,100 — land
$120 — GoFundMe fee
$45 — Wiring fee
$1,602 — TOTAL
$750 has been provided by a generous donor.
Only $852 is presently needed.
All contributors will receive thank you notes, photos, updates, and US tax deductible receipts.
Uganda Peanuts
----
Muhindo Nyesi, chairwomen of the Nyakiyumbu Widows Association, also explains the funds will:
a) Purchase land where the peanuts will be planted.
b) Purchase tools women use in the peanut field during cultivation.
c) Purchase the peanut seeds to be planted.
d) Purchase fertilizer to ensure good produce
"This season favors the growing of the peanuts much better than other crops; and so this season it’s the peanuts which will be grown by women. "
(Nyakiyumbu students lining up for lunch food)
This is how the produce from the land will be used:
1. Peanuts will be helping to supplement meals for both the children and teachers at the school for making their sauce.
2. Peanuts will be sold and be used to support the school financially and also to buy seeds for other crop types to be planted in other seasons that are not productive to peanuts. For example, beans, soya beans etc. which shall be decided upon by the women on which crop to grow during such seasons.
3. Some other peanuts will be reserved as seeds for the next peanut season.
