Empowering Communities, Eradicating Hunger
This project focuses on producing and distributing CFBI Nutri Porridge to address malnutrition among street children and homeless families. By establishing a community-based grain mill, the initiative will ensure sustainable food production, create local employment, and empower vulnerable communities through improved nutrition and livelihoods.
AGRO MODEL FARM
Agriculture is the most healthful, most useful, and most noble employment of man.” 70% of the population in Uganda engages in agriculture. Unfortunately, most of it is done on a very small scale with poor yields that cannot sustain their families. At CFBI, we improve delivery of agricultural support services, promote Market oriented production, and improve Agricultural Markets for sustainability purposes.
Community Markets And Storage silos
These community markets will have stalls for selling produce from the Agro-Farm and out-growers farm. Produce from the farms will be stored in designated silos. It will not only be a source of income to the farmers but also provide employment opportunities for some of the people in these communities.
EDUCATION CENTER
Are you ready to transform your life and achieve your dreams? Our Education Centre empowers learners with practical skills, expert guidance, and supportive programs. We nurture potential, inspire confidence, and open pathways to academic success, career growth, and meaningful opportunities that benefit individuals, families, and communities.
High cube containers
The organization is seeking donor support to strengthen community nutrition and local economic empowerment through the establishment of community markets for the sale and storage of CFBI Nutri porridge and nutritious posho. The initiative aims to improve food security, promote access to affordable nutritious foods, and create sustainable income opportunities for community members.
