• Euforoni is a farmer in the agricultural region of the Kisoro District in Uganda. He grows Irish potatoes, cabbage and beans and would like to increase his potato cultivation. He raises sheep that provide manure used as an organic fertilizer for his crops. He would like to add more sheep to his flock to increase the “fertilizer” production.

About The Project

$720 needed to purchase a cow, seeds and fertilizer
$185 contributed by Euphoroni towards his project


With an initial investment Euforoni bought and planted twice the potatoes as last season. He saved some money for future business needs and he bought a pump sprayer for use on his crops. His income has increased and is helping pay down debt and paying for school fees. With future investment he would like to add sheep to his flock and buy more land to put into vegetable production.



Paying it Forward

Euforoni pays it forward by donating school fees to several local children.

Backstory

Euforoni lives with two wives and six children in school. His wives sell bushera (a local beverage made from sorghum). As his family income grows one of his goals is home improvement. One of his biggest challenges in growing his business is securing land. One of the biggest challenges he recognizes in the area is the lack of a good road network and he and his neighbors help construct feeder roads.
