Abraham and Alex W met twenty Kitukiro community members and the chairperson Mss Base told the meeting that they met as a community and they had many things they can do together. They came up with poultry, growing peas for sell, making bricks for sell, growing tomatoes, tailoring and rearing turkeys.
Alex W thanked the members for coming up with ideas but they need to come up with something which is easy to do and will unite them at least two things for the start.
The members discussed and agreed on poultry and growing peas which takes little time whereby they will be selling it and doing other things.
They said that they are going to contribute money and buy chickens, they will divide them and keep them individually because they are not yet to reach the point of keeping chickens together as a community in one place. There many things to think about for example where they are going to put the chicken coop, treatment, feeding and security.
Abraham advised the community to start doing things slowly as they learn because experience is a good teacher. He told them not to trash the other things but they will be evaluating everything and see what works for them, they can change to something else after seeing what they are doing can not work for them.
The councilor of Kitukiro to Bugaya sub county Mr Eryasa Owolulalo thanked Kibo for the good work and he promised to work with the community to see that community economic project is done in a good way.
The community is going to meet and decide where they will grow peas and when to start contributing money to buy chickens.
