WOMEN

One of the main objectives of KCDO is to provide women with the knowledge and opportunities to improve their lives and the lives of their children. We actively provide fundamental education in the areas of farming and animal husbandry. One example is our recent foray into pig farming. Women have been learning every aspect of pig farming, from piglet care to the economics of running and maintaining a successful farm, including encouraging interactions with neighboring farming communities to build a better breeding program.

Our programs provide women with the economic knowledge necessary for them to engage in small business entrepreneurship.

We welcome financial assistance that would address the ability for women to begin individual small business enterprises. Statistics have shown that women-owned business are the most successful means of improving the lives of entire families. Contact us if you would like to expand opportunities for women.

PIGGERY

We are very excited that we now have a small piggery which can create economic independence, as well as supplying a sustainable food source for our community.

We built every part of our pig farm ourselves.

We poured the concrete and painted all the timber with oil to prevent wood rot.

We built a rain water catchment system so that clean water will run into a water tank and our pigs will be healthy.

This is our water tank.

We now have 22 piglets and one boar.

The women of our community are maintaining the piglets and our taking the lead in managing this business.

This is our first opportunity to create economic independence for the vulnerable families residing in Kyamaganda.

Funds for our piggery were raised by Wonderland BookSavers, Make a Splash for Uganda fundraiser.

Wonderland BookSavers decorated the envelopes. Guests were asked to donate the number of dollars depicted on the envelope. Inside each envelope was a special message, thanking the contributor.

This simple fund raiser helped change our opportunities and our lives.
