Agriculture & Livelihood Program
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, global efforts to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030 was not on track. The pandemic has made this goal significantly more challenging.
The number of people in the world affected by hunger continued to increase in 2020 under the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is estimated that between 720 & 811 million people in the world faced hunger in 2020 (2021, The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (FAO-ROME,2021).
In December 2020, World Food Program announced a further 40% cut in food rations given to over 1.4 million refugees in Uganda due to funding shortfalls.
Without any significant investments to support refugees establish sustainable sources of food and income, the situation could become dire with increased cases of malnutrition and stunting among children.
Voice For Humanity Uganda implements projects that enhance food security and improve incomes and nutrition among the poorest conflict-affected households.
We provide the necessary training on good agronomic practices while providing the needed tools, capital and start-ups in Agribusiness enterprises that meet the nutritional and food needs of the local communities.
We support out-of-school youths who acquire non-formal vocational skills and start-up capital/kits for self-employment and income generation.
The story of Joyce
🌟 Amazing Transformation: From Poverty to Prosperity 🌟
🙌Let us introduce you to Joyce, a 22-year-old mother of two from Boroli Central Village in Adjumani district. Her inspiring journey will leave you in awe!
In December 2022, Joyce received a life-changing gift from Voice for Humanity Uganda: 7 local poultry birds 🐔.
Little did she know that this would be the start of a remarkable success story that would impact not only her life but also her entire community.
With unwavering dedication and the invaluable skills she gained from the training and ongoing support provided by the project team, Joyce has managed to transform those 7 birds into an impressive flock of 35 🐣, and there are even 5 more eagerly awaiting their grand entrance into the world!
Joyce's ambitions don't stop there. With her sights set high, she dreams of reaching a flock size of 100 birds by the end of 2023!
💪 Her resolute spirit and determination to escape poverty are truly inspiring.
When we asked Joyce about her journey, her eyes shone with pride as she exclaimed, "My future is bright because I am walking out of poverty with this project!"
Her words resonate with hope and determination, proving that a small act of kindness can create a ripple effect of change.
Joyce's success has not gone unnoticed within her village.
Today, she has become a beacon of knowledge and guidance for other youths and community members who come to learn about poultry management from her. With a joyful heart, she gladly shares her wisdom and experience with those eager to follow in her footsteps.
Joyce's compassion extends even further. She has a noble plan to support other vulnerable youths in her community by providing them with at least two birds each, giving them the same opportunity she received. Her kindness knows no bounds, and she aims to empower others to start their own Income Generating Activities, breaking the chains of poverty together.
Joyce concludes by expressing her heartfelt gratitude to Voice for Humanity Uganda for the life-changing agricultural support they provided. Not only has it improved her income, but it has also enhanced nutrition and food security for her family.
