This is No Chicken Scratch!

Tawawami Develops the Pastoral Community

with a Poultry Project

African farmers are extremely hard working and with the right support, they could dramatically enhance their productivity and prosperity.  It is essential that the African governments, International donors, academic institutions and agriculture researchers start collaborating to solve and address famine and the damaging effects of climate changes on the productivity of the land.

Poultry farming is an emerging industry and can help many farmers surface from the depths of poverty.  Poor guidance and inadequate care will result in a non-performing chicken, thus making the farmer fall deeper in the void of poverty.  The private agency Misenani Agri Services an agricultural establishment of Mwanza recognizes the challenges that face the pastoral communities.  The organization has graciously agreed to collaborate with the Tawawami Project in engaging in a pastoral service program that will aid the farm community that the Project serves.

Ideally, Tawawami in concert with Misenani Agri Services plans to target the needs of the woman of the community who have small farm plots.  Intervention would dramatically increase their livelihood by supplementing their income with a successful poultry program.

Before loaner chicks are distributed participants in the program would attend educational seminars conducted by both Tawawami and the Misenani Agri Service.

Seminars would provide the following instruction:
1. adequate housing for the chickens with improved lighting and ventilation
2. providing the proper equipment for feeding and watering
3. producing and providing quality feed
4. the proper administering of veterinary drugs and vaccines
5. marketing approaches.

Tawawami is seeking partners either local or international to help better serve the poultry industry and their program in the fast growing region of Mwanza.
