Project Description
The Demonstration Mixed Farm Project is one of AWAGHA’s household economic empowerment initiatives aimed at supporting women and adolescent girls living with or affected by HIV/AIDS. Located in Mugona North, Kapyanga Subcounty, the project focuses on rearing ducks and local chickens as a model for sustainable poultry farming. The goal is to establish a multiplication center that produces more eggs, chicks, and mature birds for sale, thereby improving household income and nutrition.
