Uganda Poultry Project
Approximately 10 million Ugandans are subsisting on less than 2000 Ugx daily. This dire financial situation makes it difficult for them to achieve economic security. With this in mind, we have devised a poultry project targeting disadvantaged communities; its purpose is to facilitate market growth and reduce the prevalence of poverty.
The poultry project supplies twenty chicks, feeder, maize brand, and other necessary supplies to assist with the poultry farming. It gives our beneficiaries the opportunity to initiate a poultry business, selling eggs and chickens as a source of income. Before receiving their packages, they receive training and education. Our team also provides follow-up services throughout the lifetime of the project to guarantee its success.



Stats
- Between 2015 and 2018, global poverty continued its historical decline, with the global poverty rate falling from 10.1 percent in 2015 to 8.6 percent in 2018.
- Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the global poverty rate increased sharply from 8.3 percent in 2019 to 9.2 percent in 2020, rewinding progress by about three years.
- This unprecedented reversal is being further exacerbated by rising inflation and the impacts of the war in Ukraine. It is estimated that these combined crises will lead to an additional 75–95 million people living in extreme poverty in 2022, compared with pre-pandemic projections.
- The losses have been much higher for low-income countries, where poverty reduction has been set back by between eight and nine years. Although the poverty rate is projected to decrease to 8.7 percent in 2021, it was still higher than the pre-pandemic level.
- For the first time in two decades, the world’s share of workers living with their families below the international poverty line increased from 6.7 percent in 2019 to 7.2 percent in 2020, meaning that an additional 8 million workers were pushed into poverty.
