Ms. Pelusi Biira, a visually impaired poultry farmer from Kizungu Cell, Nyamwamba Division in Kasese Municipality, who recently received 20 million shillings donation from President Yoweri Museveni during his Parish Development Model tour in the Rwenzori sub-region earlier this month, is making remarkable progress.
Yesterday, a team of Kasese Municipal Councilors and technical leaders, led by the Municipal Agricultural Officer, Mr. Asanairi Bukanywa, paid a courtesy visit to Ms. Pelusi as part of their monitoring activities.
During the visit, they found that Ms. Pelusi has already extended electricity to her farm, procured building materials to construct a fence around her poultry project, and reassured the delegation that she plans to acquire a Tuku-Tuku tricycle soon to facilitate the transportation of poultry feeds.

Mr. Bukanywa commended Ms. Pelusi for the impactful use of the funds. He encouraged other farmers to consider applying for agricultural loans from financial institutions to expand and boost their farming activities.

He also urged farmers to seek guidance and support from agricultural officers to ensure proper farming practices and sustainable growth.
