Name project: Poultry farm rebuilding and restocking
Location: Kabale, Uganda
Project leadtime: 3 months

Description of the project:
In 2010 we came up with the poultry project as an income generating project as supplementary sources of income to CRVO as well as for households from where we have children in the project. The organization has been running this poultry since 2010 with full support from Vleugels van Hoop association till early June 2015 when we lost all the birds due to the disease outbreak that left all the chicken 800 in number dead despite the intervention of the veterinary doctor. This project has been the major source of income to cater for children’s education.

Risks:
Kroiler breed is an Indian breed that has been recommended as resistant to diseases. It has also been recommended to construct new structures which are improved and are made up of only iron sheets to avoid some eventualities including fire outbreak. Most of the materials that were being used should not be used in new restock to avoid transfer of diseases from the previous chickens.
