MAD started a farm, at Kalule, a few miles outside of Kampala. The idea was to create a sustainable program that would provide profits that can be ploughed back into local projects as well as providing an environment where youngsters could learn agricultural and business skills.
From a standing start in 2012, the farm now has:
- Eight barns each with 1,000 chicken capacity
- An office block with two office rooms, a store and pit latrine
- A water system (including a well that had to be dug) with an 8,000 litre reservoir and piping from the well to the reservoir and distribution to the barns
- Feed mill house with milling equipment
- Air dryer for maize
- Feed store
- Workers' house to accommodate five workers plus further pit latrine
- Night security hut
- Bio security fencing, gates and disinfectant dips
