BACKGROUND.
Children Rescue Voluntary Organization is a registered Non governmental organization found in Kabale Town. The organization aims at restoring the last hope of vulnerable children who has lost hope due to physical, socially, economically and emotionally tortures. The organization intends to restore over 200 pupils through equipping them with knowledge and skills hence improving their social economic status. Kabale is a densely populated place with a population worth 40000 people with children constituting the highest percentage. Most of the people are below the poverty line which has forced many children to run from their homes to the street due to lack of basic essentials.
As a way of reducing the increase of vulnerable children from the street, the organization intends to start income generating projects for the organization then later to be extended to house holds.
Poultry keeping is an income generating project proposed which once it has started, it can sustain itself and be a source of income to all house holds in urban setting using limited resources. This class has been determined basing on social, economic background of vulnerable children who are found eating food from garbage centres in town. Therefore the idea of establishing poultry keeping project, will play a pivotal role in social economic development of these children. This will provide the answer to those children who are psychologically tortured.
PROBLEM STATEMENT.
The proposed poultry keeping is an income generating project that is answer to poverty. The idea of increasing number of children on the streets is geared by among many others poverty, orphanage, lack of basic materials, extramarital relationship, drunkardness etc. this project will address the social economic status of vulnerable life. It is important to start because once it starts it will generate income that will enable the organization improve the poor living standards of vulnerable children on the streets by meeting their basic essentials like food among others. Hence improving the social economic status.
It is hoped that once this programme has been funded the life style of both children (vulnerable) and households will improve.
Therefore failure to start income generating projects will continues to deny the vulnerable children from enjoying fundamental human rights for development.

The above project is a short term with stable income. The more birds the more income in the shortest possible time.
- This project proposal is for the first six months then after it will sustain itself.
- If you start with 1000 birds there is a possibility of producing 50 trays of eggs per day once they have started to lay. Therefore the project will be able to generate approximately 300,000= Uganda shillings per day. Hence supporting vulnerable children.

Follow up of the project
The first meeting with this organisation took please in December 2009. We heard drums and went to look where the music was coming from. Children living on the street and orphans gave us a performance which touched us deep.
The responsible person invited us to get to know each other and this was the start of it all. Shortly after our return in Belgium a project proposal was send to us. After evaluation the decision was taken to support these children.

'Hi madam, recieve warm greetings from the organisation.
Thanks so much for all the greatwork you did to support the vulnerable children.
Presently we have 750 birds despite sickness which keep affecting them.
We have not yet achieved our expectations but so far a good fraction has been met since the project can now support 89 children in form of scholastic materials,food.as well as medication. This confirms that our target has been partly met. We feel if we had another project to support this one then we would realise 100 percent target.
This project is able to buy food for all the birds on top of meeting children needs.we feel if we get a way we would start a piggery project to support this poultry so that we get school fees ,clothes and rent expenses as well as water and electricity bills.
This idea is healthy in that we have many vulnerable children who cannot be mantained by this one project.
Otherwise convey our appreciation to all association members for the great work they did to support children.we pray that you continue to support us until you see us fly to sustainability.
Leonard'
