THE CHICKEN FARM PROJECT
Kasese Humanist School is coming up with a chicken project late this year .
In some years back, the school had a similar project that aimed at providing eggs for the kids free of charge and we did that over the years, by then we were still renting at the Railway Building properties in the outskirts of Kasese Town.
When we relocated our permanent home at Rukoki, we continued with the project for some 2 years and as the school expanded we were obliged to halt this project and re-purpose the building to shelter the boys so it was made a dormitory which actually at present accommodates 22 boys.
Recently as we were making fences and house modification works project, we created a big spacious building which we had initially planned to be a dining area for our students.
BENEFITS OF THE PROJECT
In a brief meeting i had with the School management, we realized that if we created a poultry farm in this building the school,the project will offer the below benefits:
PROJECT ACTIVITIES
The maroon roofed building will have to be shuttered, wire meshed windows will be added, some plastic sheet put on the roofs to offer a nice illumination of the inside area, two internal compartments will be created at the extreme end to also provide a small room for the poultry keeper and the inside area will just be leveled.
The chicken house will bear a plaque sign bearing the words THE CHICKEN PALACE
The nearby garden near this building will all be in a fenced area for privacy purposes.

BENEFITS OF THE PROJECT
In a brief meeting i had with the School management, we realized that if we created a poultry farm in this building the school,the project will offer the below benefits:
 |
| Free range chicken to be reared at the school |
- Generate some income that will help in uplifting the school financial muscle and be in position to supplement it on paying teachers salaries.
- Will act as a learning demonstration tool to help kids know more about chicken keeping, chicken feeding habits, disease control.
- The project will help in generating eggs and meat which can be eaten to supplement the diet of the teachers and the children.
- The project will generate manure which will act as organic fertilizer which will be available free of charge and will be spread in the nearby gardens inside and outside of the school fence.
- The teachers themselves will have shares in the project and will be required to own some chicken inside the poultry palace, this will help them to improve on their welfare.
