Poultry Production
Empowering Rural Communities Through Poultry Farming in Uganda
KIRUCODO Poultry Farming Project, sponsored by Bluebonnet Hills Christian Church, began in 2014 with the delivery of two cages of chickens—one to Kibiribiri Church of Uganda Primary School, and another to the KIRUCODO offices in Kikandwa Village.
Why Nutrition Matters
The Global Nutrition Report 2017 emphasizes the need to put nutrition at the center of poverty reduction, disease prevention, education, and climate resilience. Poor nutrition—especially in childhood—has long-term consequences for individuals and entire economies.
As Akinwumi Adesina, President of the African Development Bank, warned:
“Africa’s economic progress is being undermined by hunger, malnutrition, and stunting, which cost at least US$25 billion annually in Sub-Saharan Africa and leave a lasting legacy of loss, pain, and ruined potential. Stunted children today lead to stunted economies tomorrow.”
The Role of Poultry Farming
In Sub-Saharan Africa, over 75% of the population relies on agriculture for income and daily food. Yet, as populations grow, available farmland shrinks—while the demand for food continues to rise. Small-scale poultry farming offers an efficient, affordable, and sustainable way to provide protein-rich food for rural households.
Raising chickens and other small animals not only improves nutrition but also creates income opportunities, especially for women and youth.
Impact and Ongoing Success
Since its launch, this project has trained over 1,000 people in small-scale, profitable poultry keeping. Participants have gained practical skills in sustainable agriculture and animal care, helping them boost household nutrition and income.
The project continues to grow—and so does the community around it. For updates, stories, and advice from fellow farmers, join our Home of Kuroilers Facebook Group.
