LHI through its Livelihood Program under Fighting Malnutrition sub program is running GUINEA PIGS FARM PROJECT where beneficiaries will be malnutrition vulnerable families within Kyaka II Refugee Settlement and host community.
LHI breeds and give 2 guinea pigs (1 male+ 1 female) to the identified family under risk of malnutrition for breeding and as a result, they use them as nutritious food and source of income as well as soil fertilizer. Guinea Pigs are docile, which makes them much easier to farm than larger animals.
LHI plans to extend and empower the project by adding more 100 guinea pigs for faster production which will enable the project to support many beneficiaries within a short period of time, and the extension cost is 5,400,000ugx ($1,529.88). Each family out of 600 beneficiary families will start receiving 2 guinea pigs (1male+1female) after 1 year of production.
You can donate to support this Program and help in fighting Malnutrition of the people at risk.
