The proposed project will empower 500 female heads of households over a 12-month period with the knowledge and technical skills to utilize sustainable poultry production practices as a means to provide for their families. It will employ a full-time farm assistant and hatchery technician from the community. Cost projections show the year’s operation at a net expense of $9,997.14 or 34,990,000 UGX. Including the addition of immediate relatives to the 502 direct beneficiaries, the positive impact of this project will be an increased quality of life for a total of 3,012 Ugandans—2,008 women and 1,004 males.
