Invest in Kabaganda: Raising 31 Farming Families’ Incomes with Pigs and Progress
Transforming Central Uganda farmers with youth-led piggery, savings groups, and agribusiness partnerships.
"Investing in one farmer multiplies returns for the whole community."
Potential Blocked by Market and Input Gaps
In Kabaganda, 31 farming families depend on pigs and staple crops, but low-quality inputs and limited selling options keep incomes at just $23/month. Without quality seeds or reliable markets, families can’t turn effort into opportunity—yet youth buy-in is high and the community is ready for growth.
Piggery Projects Drive Change
Othieno Capher
"When a farmer sees his neighbor’s piggery working, he wants that success too."
Roots Africa’s Pig Link Pod and Othieno Capher have launched Kabaganda’s first collective pig farming venture—introducing modern production techniques and recordkeeping. As neighbors see improved income and resilience, demand for quality breeding, feed loans, and marketing help is growing.
