Unlike most non-profit organisations that depend entirely on donor support for a wide range of their projects, new have a unique survival strategy that will help the donor project ongoing in case of unfortunate pull out. We take part in agricultural projects such as poultry, livestock farming and commercial agriculture which accumulate some money that helps in developing different projects as well as running the organisation day to day activities.
HOW IS THE SURVIVAL PLAN IMPLEMENTED
We plan on improving the real estate business in Uganda and this is a virgin sector that is not exploited yet. We have a plan in position to buy land neighbouring different cities in Uganda and develop the land with furnished rental apartments that can be rented out to different individuals hence accumulating monthly income that can run the different projects run by the organisation
A donor/ sponsor is requested to either take part in the different agricultural projects where by, they will buy either a cow, goat, pig, rabbit, chicken e.t.c, the purchased animal will be named by the sponsor/donor and taken care by the family the child being sponsored or taken care at the organisation farm. When these animals give birth and reach a certain number, some will be sold out to keep the carrying capacity of the farm and the money earned, will cater for the project activities as per the organisation’s annual planning.
Most families do substance agriculture where by most of the produce is for home consumption, at child help Uganda, we advocate for commercial agriculture, whereby we hire land and cultivate different money making crops annually depending on the weather season, but due to climate change, the seasons are unpredictable, therefore we go for irrigation farming to keep up with the market demands and the money received from the produce caters for the organisation’s annual planning
In this case, we have a plan that keeps us going despite the unfortunate pull out of donors in times of emergency.
