Context

Refugee women residing in Kampala face formidable challenges in attaining livelihoods and employment opportunities, compounded by language barriers, limited resources, and prevailing cultural norms that often prioritize boys’ education. The combination of a restricted job market, discriminatory practices, and economic constraints creates substantial hurdles for these women, hindering their pursuit of financial independence and the ability to provide for their families. The project’s overarching goal is to empower these refugee women by establishing sustainable livelihoods, with a specific focus on introducing table bird farming. This initiative entails comprehensive training, support, and resource provisions to facilitate the establishment and management of small-scale poultry farms. Through engaging in table bird farming, the women are anticipated to achieve economic independence, while also acquiring vital skills in poultry husbandry, health management, and business operations. Emphasizing sustainable and ethical farming practices, the project aspires to contribute to the long-term economic stability of these women and simultaneously enhance food security within the community by providing a local and affordable protein source.

AORW-U is currently in the planning phase of a poultry farming project aimed at promoting sustainable agriculture and supporting local communities. We are seeking quotations for the supply of 1000 table birds, along with the necessary equipment, feeders, drinkers, feeding troughs, medication, and construction materials for poultry housing.
