Testimonials 

Grace Nabawanuka Agent

The chickens are ready to sell after one month, compared to at least three months for crops - this cash flow gives us stability. Also, we used to eat only beef once in a while but now we have the chickens, which are cheaper.

Namaganda Maria Smallholder farmer

I have reared Uzima birds for about 6 months now. Uzima birds are easy to rear because the rate at which they get sick is fair. My investment is also low. I now get eggs and meat from the birds for my children to eat and sell some to the nearby customers.

Kasendwa Ambrose Agent

From the Uzima project, I have been able to acquire a plot of land. I hope for my project to grow bigger than it is now.

Mafuto Ali Agent

Besides school fees, I can now solve a problem of 300,000 Ug without getting quick loans. I have managed to buy a Boda that I use to market my birds. I have also constructed more poultry houses worth 2M from Uzima profits
