Need: Turkey Pen, Fencing, and 100 Young Turkeys. 

Location: Kamuli District, Uganda, Sonrise Children’s Home compound

Justification: As part of our overall plan to increase production of farm animals for food and sale, we desire to establish a turkey farm. This will require the construction of a secure enclosure and shelter for the birds. 

Benefits: The turkeys will provide food for the home and an income from the ones we sell. 

Budget: $10,000

Need: 5 acres of land, construct a barn and install fencing

Location: Kamuli District, Uganda, Sonrise Children’s Home compound

Background: We need a larger fenced grazing area for our 40 goats. We must walk them from their existing barn and small fenced area each day to graze.  We’ve been grazing them on our soccer field and adjacent land which is too wet in the rainy season causing us to lose goats to sicknesses. We have an opportunity to purchase a 5-acre track of highland adjacent to our existing compound. 

Benefits:

• Maintain healthier goats

• Fenced area allows our farmers to work other tasks rather than constantly moving the goats to grass

• The new location for goats will return the soccer field to the school.

• Enable us to breed the goats

• Enable us to conduct community self-sustaining projects.

• As our goat production increases, our food supply will increase.

Budget: $12,000
