Land, Barn, Fencing for Goats
Need: 5 acres of land, construct a barn and install fencing
Location: Kamuli District, Uganda, Sonrise Children’s Home compound
Background: We need a larger fenced grazing area for our 40 goats. We must walk them from their existing barn and small fenced area each day to graze. We’ve been grazing them on our soccer field and adjacent land which is too wet in the rainy season causing us to lose goats to sicknesses. We have an opportunity to purchase a 5-acre track of highland adjacent to our existing compound.
Benefits:
Maintain healthier goats
Fenced area allows our farmers to work other tasks rather than constantly moving the goats to grass
The new location for goats will return the soccer field to the school.
Enable us to breed the goats
Enable us to conduct community self-sustaining projects.
As our goat production increases, our food supply will increase.
Budget: $12,000
