Our Poultry & Backyard Gardening Project is FULLY FUNDED!
Because of your generosity, we raised enough support to begin providing the start-up resources, training, and discipleship for the first 70 households identified in this project.
This week we kicked off the project with training! The training was held at the Mulunguzi and Jali centers. It was in 2 parts: The first portion covered business skills and various aspects of vegetable gardening, including land preparation and choosing seeds based on the soil type. This was facilitated by Maxwell Chinangwa, who is the Project Coordinator. The second portion covered chicken housing, feeding, breeding and parasites, and disease control. This was facilitated by Mr. Mkwezalamba, an official from the district Agriculture department.
Through the training, the participants were equipped with the much-needed knowledge and skills for productive poultry farming and vegetable gardening. They were also encouraged to take the training seriously so that they can fully benefit from the project. For the next 2 weeks, the beneficiaries will be constructing chicken houses and preparing land for the backyard gardens. Start-up chickens and vegetable seeds will be distributed in the second and third week of April!
