The Nature Network Group (TNNG) Poultry Project November 2021 to October 2022

Title: 

Establishing Poultry As A Livelihood Project For Refugees November 2021 to October 2022 

Introduction: 

A year long poultry farm, enables refugees to engage in income generating activities, skills development and stay connected with the local host communities.

The Nature Network Group Resource Center's Poultry Project demonstrates this.

We appeal for KES 270,700.oo to be used to operate a year round project at our resource center.

We are the Nature Network Group (TNNG) founded in 2015 to provide a safer living space for beneficiaries. We operate a shelter, a resource center used for recreation and training sessions, Life Planning IEC development and formulation to promote quality of life, bed and hot meals to refugees. We are a vital dignity-affirmation safe space . Please see our Facebook page.

Financial Support Appeal: 

We are seeking financial support to go toward sustain out projects that will serve five (5) purposes. The first is to demonstrate that empowered refugees contribute to self and local host communities. 

The second is to engage in a livelihood activities thus diversifying ways in which refugees can engage in productive work. 

Third is to use homes as cottage industries. 

Fourth is to earn income for sustenance. 

Fifth is to build entrepreneur skills as well continue working to promote industriousness among refugees.

Poultry Skills: 

Our  organization has space and persons skilled in running poultry projects and we have used the skills to work with local community members where we buy and sell products thus earned money that was used for sustenance. Refugees face problems accessing income but through skills like poultry rearing, they can work at home, make lasting friendships among host communities and contribute to the labour force. Please see our Facebook page for more details. 

The list of things we shall need is as follows: 

All money in KES

5. Vaccines and follow up care @ 20,000.oo

6. Transportation @2500 (One time off)

   Grand total = 270,700.oo

A Sustainability Plan: 

1. This project will stay long after the initial start up because we shall can use the skills to keep birds and eggs which are used for food and sustenance. The money from the birds and eggs is re-invested as well as offsets rent and utilities. 

2. Poultry projects are a turn-key that enable one to use the recycled water for gardening and manure as fertilizer. Eggs and mature birds high market sale value. 

3. Projects connect refugees to local host communities as a service exchange channel. 

Justification: 

The money will go toward expansion of the project space serving both refugees and local host communities. It is an income-generating activity.
