Invest in Bakijjulura: Turning 27 Farming Families Into Agribusiness Leaders
Empowering farmers in Central Uganda with student-led agribusiness, poultry projects, and local innovation.
"Every farmer deserves the tools to prosper and the knowledge to lead."
Potential Blocked by Losses & Low Prices
Bakijjulura's 27 families work hard to raise poultry and crops, but face poor inputs, lack of storage, and middlemen buying cheap. Average income remains around $20/month, threatening household resilience even as market opportunity grows.
New Partnerships, New Profits

"A small investment grows a business. A good business grows a community."
