POULTRY PROJECT
-The MMOCI income generating project officially started in
October 2017 with about 450 chicks
-More than half of the chickens have grown and have already
been sold
- Some good number of the chickens died due to many external
factors
-Part of the money collected from the sales has been used to
pay school fees
-There is still a lot of fundraising needed in order to
complete the building properly and start the project again with a good number
of chicks
-There is still need for plastering the final room and the
exterior of the building, fencing the entire premises for safety and to contain
the chickens during their time outside each day, a larger solar system, a small
refrigerator to store vaccinations and more.
-Paid volunteers have been employed to work on the project
-Training was given by a trained Veterinary doctor to the
workers and community members on how to care for the chickens.
AGRICULTURE
-We did plant maize in Feb and July of 2017. The first
plantings dried up due to severe drought but the second planting from July
yielded posho flour for the workers and the product of maize bran was used as
added supplements to the chicken feeds.
-We have also invested in cows to help provide milk for the
workers and additional future income for the ministry.
DISABILITY SUPPORT
-In the month of July 2017, MMOCI members in partnership
with Mityana Pentecostal Church, with the support of Father’s Heart Mobility
Ministry, disabled men, women and children were supported with wheelchairs and
other adaptive equipment.
CLOTHING DISTRIBUTION
PROJECT
-Since 2017, MMOCI ministry has distributed clothes and
other scholastic materials and gifts to more than 100 children and other
recipients in both Mityana and Soroti Districts. Most of the items we receive
are donated by a lovely woman in the U.K.
Jill has continued sending items through the post office for all of 2017
