- Notes
- Ida visited Nabikenge village to continue with her poultry lessons, Nabikenge is one of the villages that whose economic activity is poultry farming and so it was important for Ida to take lessons and teach members how to care for chickens, this involved teaching them how to build the chicken coops, which measurements are required and how many chickens are required to given size of coop. Ida also demonstrated to the members how to feed the chickens this involves the ratio of feeds required to each chicken and also recommend what type of feeds are best to chicken at a certain stage. To reduce the modality rate , Ida advised the members to build permanent and well ventilated coops and indeed Mrs Brenda who had been using a grass thatched coop build a permanent one and is being an example to the community since every member wants to know how she built it however, the veterinary doctor promised the members that he will start training the community members how to care for the chicken and also recommend to them the best vaccines and drugs Incase the chicken fall sick. At the end of the lesson the community members appealed to Ida to take a report to the WASH team to visit their village and teach them how to construct a permanent borehole fence.
- Next Visit
- 2019-11-22 - Purpose: Continue monitoring and guiding on the chicken coops
- Program Success
- Nabikenge has embraced poultry farming instead of pole coops, they are building brick coops. They want to take this chicken program to the next level.
- Program Critical Needs
- They need WASH program to teach them how to fence the borehole fence with bricks because the termites have eaten all the trees they used for fencing.
- Program Ownership
- They are doing all these things on their own (making bricks, building brick chicken coops)
- Other Program Observations
- The Mvule program members harvested their ground nuts and are waiting for the prices to raise them they can sell them off
- Program Expected Of Village
- The members have to mobilize each other and remind each other about the time of meeting
- Program Staff Preparations Next Visit
- I have to prepare lessons for the day
