Help us fight extreme poverty here in Busoga, Uganda’s poorest region, with a Grain Facility.

Every household in our region is a smallholder farmer, and the main challenge that keeps every farmer in our region in chronic poverty, is the absence of reliable markets for our produce. Help us install a grain facility that will create new market linkages.
This facility is only part of what will ultimately be an integrated agro-processing plant. Our integrated agro-processing plant, once installed, will place the ultra poor in our region on a self-sustainable path from poverty by creating markets for various crops.
The grain facility, alone, will also have real impact:
1) New market linkages. Currently, our nonprofit (the UCF) is running a white sorghum project, and our farmers’ sorghum is bought by Uganda Breweries. Once this facility is in place, it will make many other big buyers to view us as strategic partners (including international relief agencies like the WFP, UNHCR, World Vision, GOAL, Red Cross etc), enabling rural farmers in our region to access high value markets for their produce.
2). Catalyzing self-sustainability. Currently, our project provides all our target farmers with free initial inputs (seed, tarpaulins, liquid fertilizers/pesticides, spray pumps etc) only as a hand-up, because many can’t afford them. This is where this grain facility will help.
On the one hand, the presence of this facility will in itself be an assurance to all local farmers of the presence of a ready market for their produce (including those farmers whom the UCF hasn’t been supporting directly), giving them the self-urge to secure the needed inputs on their own, and take part in our work. On the other, for those farmers whom the UCF is currently providing with inputs, the market linkages and partnerships that this facility will create… will give these farmers a steady income stream, and in turn, the self-motivation to produce more, and thus the ability to use their own incomes to secure the needed inputs on their own, making our overall work self-sustaining.
3). Diversifying incomes for the rural poor. This grain facility will create market linkages not just for sorghum, but also for many other crops like maize, millet, rice, beans, peas etc, which are also bought by many institutional buyers (like the UN’s WFP), but which rural farmers in our region have previously never had a mainstream market for. This will enable the rural poor in our region to diversify their incomes and escape poverty.
Note:
With this grain facility in place, our new goal is to expand our current white sorghum roject to cover every village in Kamuli and Buyende, a region that comprises 1,123 villages, with over a million people and 165,000 households. Details here, and here.
Total cost:
This facility will be installed by British firm Alvan Blanch, at a total cost of £339,403 (see detailed Quote). Note: as mentioned in this quote, however, the £339,403 only covers plant equipment, and its transportation from Alvan Blanch’s offices in the UK to Mombasa Kenya, not Uganda. The total cost for installing this facility will be $814,000.
Help us raise this money:
We have tried to raise support for this grain facility (and the integrated agro-processing plant) for ten years, as you can see in our presentation before the UNDP Uganda senior team back in 2017. In those ten years, we have explored every option in vain.
For this reason, UCF founder Anthony recently created (in 2024) a campaign asking the crypto/web3 community across the world to help us raise the needed support. If you are someone from the crypto/web3 community and would like to help, please see our wallet addresses below this page, or visit Anthony’s web3 campaign here: dear-crypto.org/
If you are a non-crypto user, you can also contribute dollars here. Similarly, you can also support us by making a wire transfer, or via Employee Workplace Giving where your donation will be matched by your employer. Please use the details on this page.
Your support could be the turning point that Busoga’s ultra poor have been waiting for.
