Suubi funds a micro-loan program which enables women and Children in Busu Village to start small income generating businesses to support their families. Allot of women and children have been able to start or sustain businesses such chicken rearing, piggery, operating small variety stores and teashops, and selling vegetables. Loans are typically for amounts of £25 or $50-to £50 pounds or $100 dollars.
Suubi is a community-based programme and has long-term aims, (about 15 years) to make the Suubi Project self-help program. Our ultimate aim is to be able to meet the needs of local community in Busu Village and the areas.
Child sponsorship
Every boy and girl around the world has a right to education”
Education in Uganda and most of Africa isn't just about getting a good job. It changes lives in many ways. It's essential for self-esteem, financial security, social justice, and health and, in the long run, for community and economic development especially in rural areas and villages like Busu where we work.
Yet for many of the country's poorest people, it's not an option
Education is the way-out of the poverty trap for most people in Busu village and most places in Africa. It is not possible to have paid employment for every one, but the skills and knowledge at school can help produce better use of land and resources.
Our aim is to develop a vocation program , general literacy skill, and skill like carpentry, basic car mechanics, computer education and food and Agriculture development.
Maize Mill project
We would like to build and install a maize mill facility for the people in the area to help process their grain. This will bring the service near to them at an affordable cost but will, also help to raise some funds to help on our long walk to self reliance.
(The benefits for the local people are Provision of Local Service and Employment - Income )
Chicken project
We would like to start a chicken project, which will be an education program for children.
Suubi's plan is to give families receive a flock of chicks along with the training and assistance required to establish their own egg-producing unit. Eggs and meat mean improved nutrition and, over time, improved income. Having reached maturity, hens can lay up to 200 eggs per year. Pecking at insects and weeds the chickens also scratch up the soil with their sharp beaks and claws and enrich it with their droppings, making crop yields more fruitful.
Families can sell extra eggs to help pay school fees and provide much needed cash for food, clothes and medicine. They can also exchange their chicken for goats.

Food and nutrition
One of the major ways to fight simple illness in places like Busu village is good nutrition.
Suubi is working with local people to improve their food security by giving goats to children in families. Goats are cheaper and much easier to care for than cattle. Goats are also part of the culture and background experience of the Basoga people.At the moment the only goats we have to give away are local which don't produce much milk, but we hope to crossbreed them with other breeds and this will improve their quality and they will produce more milk.
Your gift of a dairy goat can supply a needy family with up to four litres of nutritious milk per day. This is five times the quantity produced by a local cow.
Pure-bred dairy goats are very well suited to our East Africa and Uganda in particular; A family can sell the extra milk that is produced or use it to make butter or cheese. Manure collected from the goats is also used as a rich fertiliser on land and helps to increase vegetable crop yields.
Dairy goats are friendly and easy to manage. They will kid each year, and, because they often produce twins, a family can quickly start to build up a small herd. Once they have 4 or 5 they can exchange them for a cow.
Money from the sale of milk, cheese and butter means that parents can pay for food, medicine and an education for their children
Goat project
For only £30 you can buy a goat for a child in Busu Village and this will make a diffrence.
A gift of rabbits to a family in the village with little land and few resources is a great help. We want to give people good bread rabits which produce almost 100 offspring per year that can mature quickly and be ready for market in just a few months.
Rabbits
Rabbits eat leftover vegetables and leaves and in return produce nitrogen-rich manure that can be used on crops or sold as fertiliser. If you give some one in Busu Village a gift of a trio of rabbits (one buck and two does) is one of the most practical ways of assisting a struggling in this part of Uganda.
With £40 or Eur 60 you can set up a family with their own rabit project.
Piggery project
We think a pig project might be the best idea for some families especially ones with not much land available.
Pigs need little land, and as they can even consume vegetable and garden waste they are not in competition with humans for food. In return they produce manure, which acts as a valuable fertiliser to enrich the garden, so increasing vegetable crop yields.
The gift of a breeding sow can give a struggling family in Busu Village a valuable source of protein-rich meat.
An average sow can provide a family with 16 - 20 piglets a year, which fatten quickly and are ready for market in a few short months. The income generated through their sale helps the family to take the first step towards self-sufficiency and provides money for necessities like school, clothes and housing.
For £150 you can help to set up a pig project for a family in busu village
