Famine is killing people in Eastern Uganda. URICT as an organisation is seeking for $3.860 to purchase a Grain Mill.

This is a sustainable project because the machine can even attract income to the Center.

The post Open up another 12 acres of farmland first appeared on URICT Uganda.]]> The coming of rainfall this March has really been a blessing to our Sustainable Farming/Agricultural Project, we have been able to open up another 12 Acres of where we are planting, vegetable of all sorts.

Adding value to whatever we produce from our farmfields is one way we can commercialize farming and attract income for purposes of sustainability. It’s becoming increasingly hard to fundraise from individuals to keep the School and the Children’s center open. For years we have so much depended on handouts from friends and wellwishers. It’s now time to think outside the box. URICT is looking into purchase a Maize/corn Grain Mill so that we can add value to our maize production. Then we can be able to sell maize flour and animal feeds. This can really bring in a good income annually.

The project is feeding children in the orphanage and school, grandmothers and their orphaned. Nutrition and balance diet for all. Its acts also as Agriculture regional research and study center for organic farming especially women, children, youth and grandmothers.

Dear friends we kindly request you all to stand with us again to donate and we raise funds to buy a Solar Water Pump for URICT Agriculture Sustainable Project. We don't want to get more losses we have made already-; Animals/birds die and plants drying everyday because of the drought.

Its a good start, thanks to the loving hearts of the men and women who stood firm and strong and said enough is enough, let the Children at URICT starve no more. We shall forever be grateful for your love, care and kindness.

The post Fish farming first appeared on URICT Uganda.]]> When Louise Olofsson the Projects & Partnership Coordinator and Steve a Trustee at Emerge Poverty Free UK visited URICT Center early this month, they walked our Property and in the valley they saw that we can do some fish farming, so they hinted on it.

 

Fish farming can provide quality fish which is highly nutritious to the Children and Volunteers at the some time, we can sell some to the market to bring in some income.

So without wasting time 6 volunteers including me set out to dig a 12X12 and 8ft deep manually valley dam which we can use as a fish pond. Hellen from Jinja town bought for us a package of 250 fish which we have introduced into the water and its doing great. We hope to harvest some mature fish within 6-8months.

Very simple innovations and using local basic technology can bring positive change and development in the community.

Thanks Louise for the ideas. Thanks to the volunteers for the commitment to work and thanks to Mom Tammy Morrisonwho encourages us to always think outside the box and work towards self reliance.
