Abraham met Kazimbakujira community leaders first before meeting the entire group discussing the community economic activities which can benefit the all community.
The community leaders suggested that they hope the piggery project can benefit the all community because of the following:
- They are going to divide the group into seven groups and each group will be given pigs to look after.
- They want to extend it to households so that each household has a pig to start looking after improving on their income.
- They are going to get a bigger market from Kampala because by now there some guys who are looking for pigs to buy but they have few of them.
They said that they tried to involve the all community on the idea of buying a tent and plastic chairs but the problem they are facing is the new members to join them and also they have been working for so long and if someone wants to join them he or she has to be prepared to pay all the amount needed which is a challenge to them.
This is why they are coming up with piggery project so that they are all going to start on the same pace.
The rest of the members joined the meeting and Mr Barasa one of the community member said that it is true to start on the same page because they have a saving scheme but the new members have other savings they are doing in Bugiri town where they work and it becomes difficult to save at the community.
He supported the piggery project whereby they will all start at once and see how far they will go.
Abraham asked the members if they have Muslims in the group and how they are going to work together with them in the project.
Mr Bonifasi Okecho said that they have Muslims who are not radical because they meet with them in bars drinking alcohol. He said they will consider if any Muslim insist not to work with piggery they can get for him or her a goat to take care of.
Abraham advised them to continue looking for what they can do together so that they will have options to select one in the next meeting.
