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.

The proposed Chicken Palace at Kasese Humanist School Rukoki

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:

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.

PROJECT BENEFICIARIES:

• ·         Children who study at our Rukoki campus
• 
  
• ·         The school management
• 
  
• ·         Community of Rukoki and Kasese as a whole

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.

Update on the KUHA School project and latest child sponsorship images

Several months since my last post on this fund raiser for Kasese Humanist School, some significant progress has been registered over the months.

Peanut and trees thriving to give way for a man made forest

One of the outstanding achievements is fencing up the Rukoki campus and fixing several gates to ensure there is adequate security of life and property at the school.

Pupils of Kahendero Humanist School at Bizoha Humanist Center

The secondary school section got 6 stance pit latrines which were housed in a fence as well. An extra building to the size of a school hall was erected, roofed and the iron sheets painted reddish to give a smart look.

Another development has been a new project of the artificial forest am building on the western side of the school property. Several tree species ranging from medicinal trees, fruit trees and royal palms are steadily thriving. At some point, this forest will have some cottages and grounds for camping; the forest will provide a conducive climate for the community of Rukoki and will provide fresh air.

As for the Bizoha Humanist Center, we received some progress of acquiring electronic gadgets comprising of computers, sub woofers, music system, guitars, drum sets and a giant 43 Inc curved television screen to cast films, documentaries and to help in learning. 

Tailoring lessons at the Rukoki Campus

All in all, at Kasese Humanist School, we are steadily growing year by year.

As we grow, some of our enemies especially those against evolutionary science, critical thinking or evidence based learning, they continue to make prayers that our projects fail but we are more determined than ever to move forward since we are in the right direction of true, evidence and facts.

The Child Sponsorship Scheme has been a success and has benefited many vulnerable children get an education in our schools. This program has not only helped our schools to grow but also has kept the children in school and has created a mutual cooperation and collaboration of some parents with sponsors, the program has helped our students and the sponsors to learn from each other about either countries, their culture, life styles and mode of living.
